Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a system that provides a reference-method for publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Each CVE entry includes a unique identifier, a description of the vulnerability, and references to related information, helping organizations understand and address security risks.
The CVE system is maintained by the MITRE Corporation, which collaborates with various stakeholders, including security researchers and software vendors. By standardizing vulnerability information, CVE enables better communication and coordination in the cybersecurity community, allowing organizations to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities effectively.
