The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, crucial for managing product security flaws, is set to lose its US government funding, threatening its operations. This centralized database is essential for companies, developers, and researchers, allowing them to uniquely identify vulnerabilities with standardized CVE ID numbers. Without renewed funding from the government, the program may cease its activities, halting new CVE publications and rendering its website inactive, thereby creating potential chaos in global vulnerability management unless alternative support is found.
The 25-year-old CVE program is vital for vulnerability management, overseeing the organization and assignment of CVE IDs for specific security flaws to ensure clarity in communication.
Without US government funding, the future of the CVE program hangs in the balance, risking shutdowns, halted CVE publications, and an offline platform, unless alternate funding is secured.
