Dependabot alerts utilize standardized identifiers to describe vulnerabilities:
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures): A widely recognized identifier for publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration): A category system for software weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
These identifiers help developers understand the nature of the vulnerabilities and facilitate the search for more information or remediation strategies.

Question # 25
Where can you view code scanning results from CodeQL analysis?
All results from CodeQL analysis appear under the repository’s code scanning alerts tab. This section is part of the Security tab and provides a list of all current, fixed, and dismissed alerts found by CodeQL.
A CodeQL database is used internally during scanning but does not display results. Query packs contain rules, not results. Security advisories are for published vulnerabilities, not per-repo findings.
