The Early Warning Report displays vulnerabilities that have automatically been identified by WhiteSourceMend, and are undergoing a certification review by the WhiteSource Mend research team. Once they are certified, they will be removed from the report, and will instead appear as part of the Vulnerabilities Report. The certified vulnerabilities will trigger the creation of alerts and, according to the user’s configuration, might also trigger policy matching with the libraries in which they appear.
