VEX

Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange

Definition

VEX is a security advisory format that allows software suppliers to communicate whether their products are affected by a given CVE, even if a vulnerable component is present in the SBOM. A VEX statement can assert that a component is not exploitable due to compensating controls, code path analysis, or platform conditions.

VEX reduces alert fatigue from transitive dependency vulnerabilities.
