Describe the feature
Vulnerabilities can have an EPSS score attached to them. This describes the probability of a vulnerability being exploited. As of spec version 1.6, there is no clear way to attach this to a CycloneDX Vulnerability.
A vulnerability does have a slot for
ratings, but it is not clear whether it can be used to include the EPSS, which consists of two values (the probability score itself, a percentile). It might be worth introducing a new slot for this vulnerability attribute.Possible solutions
Shooting from the hip.
Alternatives
Getting it into the
ratings, but it does not really fit the "severity" category thatratingswas intended for.Additional context
Support for EPSS was added to SPDX 3.0: https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/v3.0/model/Security/Classes/EpssVulnAssessmentRelationship/
