Added vulndb_id according to specification from Holm Security. Also some Info instances were turned into Vuln instances with INFORMATION severity. My concept is to make vulndb_id param required in Vuln.__init__ while Info wouldn't require vulndb_id.

What happens when the ID is not present in the vulndb? Is this error handled somewhere?

There's no error. I don't implement here the concept of making vulndb_id required for Vuln instances. I just mentioned the concept in description, because in this PR I prepare the code for this concept. I'll be able to implement it once #18543 is merged.

My point is, when 10116 is passed to the Vuln instance, and then XML plugin tries to write that vuln instance to disk, what happens? Will it crash because 10116 is NOT in the vulndb?

10116 is Holm-specific, that is why I'm asking.

Would it be possible for Holm to contribute back to the vulndb? If we do that, all the w3af users would get these detailed descriptions for the vulnerabilities.

I brought up the discussion internally in Holm.

And what was the resolution?

So far there's no decision to contribute to vulndb. Holm holds off
