The availability of this feature is controlled by a feature flag. For more information, see the history.
To ensure the GitLab database remains performant, vulnerabilities are archived monthly from the database. Vulnerabilities that were last updated more than one year ago are archived. A vulnerability is updated every time a change is made, for example, when its status is changed.
Archived vulnerabilities remain available for download for an additional 3 years, after which they are deleted.
Vulnerability metrics, such as those in the security dashboard and value streams dashboards, include statistics on archived vulnerabilities.
Archival process
Every month, the vulnerability archival process runs and does the following:
Archives vulnerabilities last updated more than 12 months ago.
Archived vulnerabilities are deleted from the vulnerability report. To retrieve their details, download the relevant vulnerability archive.
Deletes archives created more than 3 years ago.
