Adds documentation for CVE ID Request button
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.
For an overview of what purpose the button serves, please see the video below, or read the high-level bullet points below the video:
- 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
