- title: "Vulnerability confidence field" announcement_milestone: "15.4" removal_milestone: "16.0" breaking_change: true reporter: abellucci stage: Govern issue_url: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/372332 body: | In GitLab 15.3, [security report schemas below version 15 were deprecated](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/deprecations.html#security-report-schemas-version-14xx). The `confidence` attribute on vulnerability findings exists only in schema versions before `15-0-0` and in GitLab prior to 15.4. To maintain consistency between the reports and our public APIs, the `confidence` attribute on any vulnerability-related components of our GraphQL API is now removed.
