Research direction

Start by tracing the rendering entry points for the summary, components table, and vulnerabilities table, then compare their handling with the CycloneDX 1.6 vulnerability analysis state specification. Done means states such as not_affected, false_positive, and resolved are consistently excluded or made controllable in all three views.

Description

enhancement

Feature request: When the VEX or VDR contains an analysis state it would be great to respect that in the visualization.

The spec: https://cyclonedx.org/docs/1.6/json/#vulnerabilities_items_analysis contains the state property to declare the occurrence of a vulnerability.

Thus in the summary, components and vulnerabilities table this should be respected maybe toggled to include them based on their state. Don't show "not_affected", "false_positive", "resolved".
