    vex8s is an open source tool that analyzes Kubernetes workloads and generates VEX documents based on their SecurityContext.

    The idea is to distinguish vulnerabilities that are actually exploitable in a given deployment from those mitigated by Kubernetes security settings (for example, readOnlyRootFilesystem, dropped capabilities, non-root users, and read-only volume mounts).

    vex8s embeds a ML model trained on CVE data to predict vulnerability classes, then combines those predictions with the workload's security configuration to determine whether a vulnerability can be mitigated.

    I'm particularly interested in feedback on the decision logic and on whether this approach could be useful as part of a vulnerability scanning pipeline.
