Microsoft Store applications (Preview)
Defender Vulnerability Management reports vulnerabilities detected on applications installed via the Microsoft Store. CVE evidence for these applications includes the Microsoft Store tag along with a suggested query showing the vulnerable application, version, and file location.
You can manage application versions through the Microsoft Store. Don't directly access or manage app files via the file path in the WindowsApps directory, to prevent issues with the OS environment.
