Description

@smaliakkal - could we add more columns to the Security Advisory table in the Wiki? At least the CVE's need to be in the list, optimal with short topic column.
Customer security teams tend to query for certain CVE's if they are fixed. In the current documentation we'd need to open each advisory and search for the CVE.

Research direction

Start with the Security Advisory table in the project Wiki and review how each advisory currently records CVE information. Add a CVE column and, if supported by the available data, a short topic column; done when customer security teams can find CVEs from the list without opening each advisory.
