SPDX V 2.3 provides guidance with regard to vulnerability reporting for SBOM's.

A NIST Vulnerability Disclosure Report (VDR) is a single file that serves as an 
attestation showing the vulnerability status of each component listed in an 
SBOM.

Sure.  And that was the sort of model I had in mind, but I don't think it's the only one.



SPDX also supports the listing of individual vulnerabilities which may affect a 
product, which is a set of entries pointing to Security Advisories:

Here is a real world example:

Ok, that does indeed argue for a leaf-list.
