Description
For example, some vulnerabilities may only be relevant on certain operating systems / architectures. Are there other similar information that can be encoded in a machine readable and actionable way?
This issue tracks adding this as a potential new field to affected. e.g. something like:
{
"affected": [ {
....
"configurations": [
{"os": "Windows"},
{"arch": "x86-64"},
]
} ]
}
This glosses over some additional detail (e.g. do we need to express specific versions of OSes?)

Research direction
The issue names the affected field and proposes a JSON configurations field, but no files or tests. Start by reviewing the current affected schema and its examples; done means agreeing on how operating systems, architectures, and possible OS versions are represented and updating the schema accordingly.
