VexVulnAssessmentRelationship

Summary

Abstract ancestor class for all VEX relationships

Description

VexVulnAssessmentRelationship is an abstract subclass that defined the common properties shared by all the SPDX-VEX status relationships.

Constraints

When linking elements using a VexVulnAssessmentRelationship, the following requirements must be observed:

  • The from: end must be a /Security/Vulnerability classed element
  • The to: end must point to elements representing the VEX products.

To specify a different element where the vulnerability was detected, the VEX relationship can optionally specify subcomponents using the assessedElement property.

VEX inherits information from the document level down to its statements. When a statement is missing information it can be completed by reading the equivalent field from the containing document. For example, if a VEX relationship is missing data in its createdBy property, tools must consider the entity listed in the CreationInfo section of the document as the VEX author. In the same way, when a VEX relationship does not have a created property, the document's date must be considered as authoritative.
