Shell scripting with JQ help

Evening all,

this is my first go at any bash scripting and i'm struggling with handling jquery. I've got the jq library installed and working. i'm working out of Ubuntu and my JQuery looks like this, some info is censored with #.

Code:
{
  "description": "some description 1",
  "fixed_version": "######",
  "link": "https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-#######",
  "name": "CVE-######",
  "package_name": "some package 1",
  "package_version": "####",
  "score": 4.6,
  "score_v3": 9.1,
  "severity": "Medium",
  "vectors": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P",
  "vectors_v3": "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"
}
{
  "description": "some description 2",
  "fixed_version": "#######",
  "link": "https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-#######",
  "name": "CVE-######",
  "package_name": "some package 2",
  "package_version": "#####",
  "score": 4.6,
  "score_v3": 9.1,
  "severity": "Medium",
  "vectors": "AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P",
  "vectors_v3": "CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N"
}

What i'd like to do is iterate through this so like so....
Code:
vulnerabilities=$(<"$WorkingDirectory"/vulnerabilities.txt) 
echo $vulnerabilities | $JSONParser -r '.[0].description'

This is the error i'm getting
Code:
jq: error (at <stdin>:1): Cannot index object with number

I've got a web dev background and a bit of PS. Dealing with JQuery in Shell so far has been a nightmare. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong???

Thanks,
DSFX

NAME
tracker-extract - Extract metadata from a file. SYNOPSYS
tracker-extract [OPTION...] FILE... DESCRIPTION
tracker-extract reads the file and mimetype provided in stdin and extract the metadata from this file; then it displays the metadata on the standard output. NOTE: If a FILE is not provided then tracker-extract will run for 30 seconds waiting for DBus calls before quitting. OPTIONS
-?, --help Show summary of options. -v, --verbosity=N Set verbosity to N. This overrides the config value. Values include 0=errors, 1=minimal, 2=detailed and 3=debug. -f, --file=FILE The FILE to extract metadata from. The FILE argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not have to be an absolute path. -m, --mime=MIME The MIME type to use for the file. If one is not provided, it will be guessed automatically. -d, --disable-shutdown Disable shutting down after 30 seconds of inactivity. -i, --force-internal-extractors Use this option to force internal extractors over 3rd parties like libstreamanalyzer. -m, --force-module=MODULE Force a particular module to be used. This is here as a convenience for developers wanting to test their MODULE file. Only the MOD- ULE name has to be specified, not the full path. Typically, a MODULE is installed to /usr/lib/tracker-0.7/extract-modules/. This option can be used with or without the .so part of the name too, for example, you can use --force-module=foo Modules are shared objects which are dynamically loaded at run time. These files must have the .so suffix to be loaded and must con- tain the correct symbols to be authenticated by tracker-extract. For more information see the libtracker-extract reference documen- tation. -V, --version Show binary version. EXAMPLES
Using command line to extract metadata from a file: $ tracker-extract -v 3 -f /path/to/some/file.mp3 Using a specific module to extract metadata from a file: $ tracker-extract -v 3 -f /path/to/some/file.mp3 -m mymodule ENVIRONMENT
TRACKER_EXTRACTORS_DIR This is the directory which tracker uses to load the shared libraries from (used for extracting metadata for specific file types). These are needed on each invocation of tracker-store. If unset it will default to the correct place. This is used mainly for testing purposes. FILES
$HOME/.config/tracker/tracker-extract.cfg SEE ALSO
tracker-store(1), tracker-sparql(1), tracker-stats(1), tracker-info(1). tracker-extract.cfg(5). /usr/lib/tracker-0.7/extract-modules/ GNU
