Permissions 

You need to assign the Update KnowledgeBase permission in WAS Remediation Permissions for a user to be able to perform the new actions that are introduced for vulnerabilities.

By default, this permission is assigned only to the Manager user. If you want other users to be able to perform the actions, you need to explicitly assign Update KnowledgeBase permission to the user.
