docs: add OpenVEX document and wire into Trivy scans (OSPS-VM-04.02)#91
Merged
Conversation
Adds vex.json in OpenVEX format to track vulnerabilities in dependencies that do not affect the deployed product. Trivy --vex flag is added to both PR and release scan invocations so confirmed non-applicable CVEs are automatically suppressed from gate failures. Documents the VEX process and statement format in SECURITY.md. Signed-off-by: Paradoxbound <paradoxbound@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
How it works
When a CVE is flagged in a dependency but does not affect this project (e.g. a code path never called, or a dev dependency not in the Docker image), a statement is appended to vex.json with a justification. Trivy reads it on every scan run.
