Issue card information

Issue cards appear on the details page for a Project. You can use available options to do the following:

View Issue card information

Issue cards show details for a specific vulnerability or license issue and actions you can take.

The issue card provides a Header section and Body section with information as explained in the next sections of this documentation.

  • Score: Priority score: 0 to 1,000

  • Type: VULNERABILITY or LICENSE ISSUE

  • Links to CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration), CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), and Snyk Vulnerability Database information for the issue.

When you expand the issue card to show more information, you can see details for the vulnerability, including:

  • Detailed path information

Filter and sort issue cards

You can apply multiple filters to a Project to show a set of issues based on specific criteria:

  • Vulnerability or license issue

  • Issues with a specific severity

  • Issues within a range of the priority score

  • Issues that have an exploit and how mature the exploit is

  • Issues that are open or have been patched or ignored

You can sort the issue cards in a Project based on their priority score or severity.

Perform additional card actions

You can perform the following actions on the issue card:

  • Ignore the issue: if you do not need to take action on an issue, or it does not need to appear on your reports, you can ignore it.

  • Create a Jira ticket: if you have the Jira integration, you can link your issue boards to Snyk and create Jira tickets directly from the Project details page to fix vulnerabilities.

  • Fix the vulnerability: if a fix is available, you can fix individual vulnerabilities.
