# Associate Vulnerability elements with Situation elements

You can associate Situation elements with an existing Vulnerability element or add a custom Vulnerability element.

##

You can add up to four references to public vulnerability databases to your custom Vulnerabilities (CVE/BID/MS/TA). System vulnerabilities can have an unlimited number of references to any reference system, and can have multiple references to the same reference system. The reference information is also shown in the Logs view.
