Link security vulnerabilities to Jira issues
Your site administrator must connect a security tool to your Jira site before you can view security vulnerabilities in Jira Software.
The security feature in Jira Software shows vulnerabilities from your connected security tools. It shows some key information about each vulnerability - like the severity, status, and identifier - so you can triage your team’s vulnerabilities and track them until they’re resolved.
For example, you might sort your vulnerabilities by severity and use the issue status filter to hide any that already have issues attached. Now you have a prioritized list of vulnerabilities to assess, create issues for, and assign to your team to resolve.
Link a security vulnerability to a Jira issue
You can create a new issue for a vulnerability, or link it to an existing issue.

To create a new issue, select Create issue.

Link a vulnerability to multiple issues
You can link a vulnerability to more than one issue. If the vulnerability already has an issue linked to it, here’s how to link another one:
