About this tag
CVE attestations are machine-readable statements from Microsoft that map Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to specific Microsoft products, such as Azure Linux. These attestations confirm whether a product includes a vulnerable open-source component, but they are product-scoped and do not guarantee that no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable code. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight that while these attestations provide useful inventory information, they have limits—they are not exhaustive proof of absence across all Microsoft offerings. The program initially focused on Azure Linux (CBL-Mariner) and uses CSAF/VEX formats to give customers deterministic, product-level mappings between CVEs and Microsoft artifacts.
