Display more metadata about current version in App Catalog

Currently, when looking at an app in the App Catalog, you can only see its:

  • Version

  • Architecture

  • Last Updated (date)

  • Software description (via clicking 'More info' draw-up menu)

  • License Model (freeware, open source, trialware, etc)

It's useful for customers to see more information about the software and its current version in the catalogue, just like they can get via notifications (email / webhooks) in the App Catalog screen, specifically:

  • Classification

  • Severity

  • CVE IDs (if any)

  • Links to release notes and any other useful official or community based articles

  • Installer download link

  • installer size

  • default install command line

All this metadata is in our catalogue so it should be possible to make it visible within the App Catalog UI.

It may also be useful to put indicators based on the same data in the Discovery data; eg if "Google Chrome" is "Unmanaged" and its current version in our catalogue is a security update or contains a CVE, it will be very valuable to indicate as much within the Discovery view.

    I would suggest to show the same in the Discovery view. This would help us to answer the questions where is a security risk on installed applications or you would add in the App Catalogue the information form Discovery (# of installs).
