What it does​

Triage CVEs from an existing scan report or SBOM and draft an OpenVEX document, skipping the scan phase - Brought to you by microsoft/hve-core

When to use it​

Use this prompt to triage CVEs from an existing supported scan report or SBOM and draft an OpenVEX document without running the scan again. Use vex-scan when current dependency discovery and enrichment are still required.

How to use it​

Provide the required report path and optionally the product package URL. The prompt preserves source precedence and drafts status determinations, which require qualified product security review and author-of-record approval before publication.

Example usage​

/vex-triage report=reports/sample-sbom.spdx.json product=pkg:npm/@example/sample-api

The prompt triages the fictional SBOM and creates an evidence-linked OpenVEX draft without running a new scan.
