# Filter CVEs by severity in the package vulnerability view

You can now use quick filters in the package vulnerability view to filter Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) by severity.

The view will still default to ordering vulnerabilities by severity — with Critical issues at the top — but quick filters make it easier to filter directly for High, Medium, Low, or Unknown severities. This helps security teams quickly triage and prioritize, especially when working with artifacts that may have a high number of CVEs (for example, Docker images where the base image alone may contribute a large number).
