Make vulnerability icons better distinguishable in web app #8807

Open hanna-modica opened 3 months ago

hanna-modica commented 3 months ago

What is the existing functionality and how should it be enhanced?

In the Web App the icons for resolved vulnerabilities and low severities are very similar and open vulnerabilities can be overlooked easily, so it should be enhanced by changing the color (and also the icon, if deemed necessary).

What is the use-case for your enhancement?

Users, would be able to see more easily, that they have an open/unresolved vulnerability. Especially important to those users, who have security critical projects and need to take care of low severity vulnerabilities, even if the company does not have a policy for those.

Alternatives you have considered

In the statistics.json users get the definite information, if there are open vulnerabilities. Still, one of our users was not able to see from the web app, that there indeed was an open vulnerability.

If the filtering function was used to filter out irrelevant issues (e.g. resolved ones), the described problem would be less of an issue I guess.
