About this tag
Per artifact coverage refers to the practice of issuing vulnerability attestations on a per-artifact basis rather than making broad, product-level claims. In the context of CVE-2025-38406, Microsoft's advisory for Azure Linux provides an artifact-level attestation indicating that the specific Azure Linux artifact is potentially affected by the vulnerability. This per-artifact coverage does not imply exclusivity, meaning other Microsoft products may also contain the same vulnerable code. The distinction is important for accurate vulnerability management and understanding the scope of security advisories. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight how per-artifact coverage helps avoid misinterpretation of advisory statements, ensuring that users assess each artifact individually rather than assuming a product-wide declaration.
