Description
Currently, Trivy supports filtering detected vulnerabilities using the Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX), with support for the OpenVEX format. This feature is in its experimental phase and has only minimal functionality added 1.
While using Package URLs (PURLs) for comparison was initially avoided due to ambiguities in the comparison methodology, there is an ongoing discussion in the OpenVEX community that presents potential solutions to these issues 2.
Given this ongoing conversation and the potential clarity it can bring to PURL comparison, I propose that we explore the experimental implementation of PURL comparison within Trivy's OpenVEX support.
This issue is intended to start a conversation around this idea, and to explore potential paths for implementation. All thoughts, comments, and suggestions are welcome as we explore this possibility.
