Description

### Current Behavior

Vulnerability ID policy violations only trigger for exact matches but not for aliases.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. create a policy: Vulnerability ID is CVE-123
2. A vulnerability in a project, that is found with the source Github as GHSA-123 and the alias CVE-123, won't trigger a policy violation.

### Expected Behavior

Since aliases are in fact, the same vulnerability. I expect a policy violation, also on aliases.
