What does this MR do?

This MR adds documentation for the CVE ID Request button in the issue sidebar. This MR is the documentation portion of Draft: Adds Request CVE ID button to issue sidebar, which was broken into separate merge requests.

  • CVE identifiers track specific vulnerabilities in specific version ranges of a project
  • GitLab participates in MITRE's CNA program and is able to issue CVE identifiers to projects that are:
    • public
    • hosted on GitLab.com
  • Prior to this feature, users needed to manually create an issue to start the CVE request process
  • The CVE ID Request button allows project maintainers to directly create the CVE ID Request issue from an existing, confidential issue's sidebar

The CVE ID Request button is only available

  • when the project is public
  • when the project is hosted on GitLab.com
  • when the current user is a maintainer
  • when the current issue is a confidential issue
