Create Vulnerability

POSThttps://api.confident-ai.com/v2/vulnerabilities

Creates a vulnerability in your Confident AI project and returns its id. Give it at least one type: a risk category selects types, not vulnerabilities. The name cannot match one Confident AI ships — update that one instead to customise it for this project.
