Vulnerabilities are flaws in software that may allow an attacker to gain control of or eavesdrop a system.

They are categorized into low, medium, and high severities based on how easy it is to exploit the vulnerability and how much damage a successful attack utilizing that vulnerability would do.

I'll add that you get these vulnerability reports whenever you install a new module into a node project, though the example here is extreme.
