One can address a problem through prevention, remediation, or mitigation. Strictly speaking "addressing" an issue states that you're speaking about it. However, we will sometimes use "address" as a word to mean that the problem was thoughtfully approached and acted on.
According to one dictionarythe vDict dictionary:
Address means to "think about and begin to deal with (an issue or problem). a fundamental problem has still to be addressed"

think about and begin to deal with (an issue or problem).
"a fundamental problem has still to be addressed"
If English is not your first language, it may be wise to use a some extra words to ensure you're well understood.
We found 21 potential issues and have addressed them as follows:
*We have provided code and configuration to prevent 18 vulnerabilities from being exploited.
*There is evidence of three tier-three incidents which are being remediated through joint work sessions with your lead system engineers and developers.
*We suspect one of those three incidents may have lead to a significant breach. I will update you as I know more. It is nearly impossible to know the full extent of most breaches. We are working to mitigate the compromise to integrity and confidentiality of your data by comparing your backups. In the mean time, you and I should speak with PR, HR, and legal to consider our options and obligations.
You could also "resolve" an issue by preventing or remediating.
