Hi @svc-4x9p2a_6341 ,
First and foremost, Chocolatey does not incorporate "Vulnerabilities" (i.e. centrally aggregated reports of vendor-reported weaknesses in software) into the package ecosystem. This is just not something that's a part of the Windows ecosystem as a whole, unlike the Linux ecosystem (e.g. Ubuntu OVALs).
Chocolatey does, however, perform automated malware/virus scanning on packages. That's a totally different thing... please read our How Virus Scanning in Chocolatey Works article to learn more.
From a technical standpoint, ProGet will use (abuse?) the vulnerability subsystem to treat "flagged" packages as vulnerable. This was a "quick and dirty" way for us to experiment with exposing this data through ProGet without having to build an entirely new subsystem just for Chocolatey packages.
As for crystalreports2008runtime, it did not fail the virus/malware checking, so it's not going to be seen as "vulnerable" by ProGet. Instead, it hasn't been "validated" by Chocolatey's automated system. That's a different feature altogether (i.e. unrelated to virus checking) - and that ancient crystal reports package long predates the moderation feature in Chocolatey I believe.
In any case, ProGet does not expose nor allow users to "filter" on this validation status, and it's highly unlikely such a capability would add much value to users - especially considering no one has asked for it, and the cost of developing an entirely new, Chocolatey-only feature is nontrivial.
The reason is that everyone internalizes their packages; see Why You Should Privatize and Internalize your Chocolatey Packages

Hope that helps, maybe @steviecoaster can assist more.
