Managing Releases

Create and manage release versions, set status, track release dates and end-of-life.

Releases represent specific versions of your software product. Each release follows an independent vulnerability disclosure workflow.

Creating a release

  1. Open a product page
  2. Click New Release
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Version (required): The version identifier (e.g., "2.1.0", "v3.0-beta")
    • Name: An optional human-friendly name (e.g., "February Security Patch")
    • Release Date: When this version was or will be released
    • End of Life Date: When this version will no longer receive updates
    • Notes: Internal notes about the release
    • Status: Active (default) or Deprecated
  4. Click Create Release

Release status

  • Active: The release is current and actively maintained
  • Deprecated: The release is no longer recommended for use

Release detail page

Each release has several tabs:

  • Overview: Release metadata, compliance report link
  • SBOM: Upload and view the Software Bill of Materials
  • Triage: Review and classify discovered vulnerabilities
  • VEX: Generate, review, and publish VEX documents

Editing a release

  1. Open the release page
  2. Click Edit
  3. Update any fields and click Save

Editing is disabled when the release is locked (during VEX approval or after publication).

Deleting a release

  1. From the product page, open the actions menu on a release row
  2. Select Delete and confirm

Deleting a release removes its SBOM, all vulnerabilities, dispositions, and VEX documents.

Vulnerability and disposition summary

The releases table on the product page shows two summary columns:

  • Vulnerabilities: Total number of CVEs found for the release
  • Dispositions: A color-coded breakdown showing how many are affected (red), fixed (green), not affected (blue), investigating (yellow), or not triaged (gray)

These summaries help you quickly identify which releases need attention.
