What is a vulnerability assessment report?
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of security weaknesses in an information system. It evaluates if the system is susceptible to any known vulnerabilities, assigns severity levels to those vulnerabilities, and recommends remediation or mitigation, if and whenever needed.
How are vulnerabilities published in the CVE catalog?
There is one CVE Record for each vulnerability in the catalog. The vulnerabilities are discovered then assigned and published by organizations from around the world that have partnered with the CVE Program. Partners publish CVE Records to communicate consistent descriptions of vulnerabilities.
How does a vulnerability get assigned a CVE ID?
The process begins with the discovery of a potential security vulnerability or exposure. The information is then assigned a CVE ID by a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA), the CNA writes the Description and adds any References, and then the completed CVE Entry is posted on the CVE website by the CVE Team.
When does CVE designate an issue as disputed?
When one party disagrees with another party’s assertion that a particular issue in software is a vulnerability, a CVE Entry assigned to that issue may be designated as being “DISPUTED”. In these cases, CVE is making no determination as to which party is correct.
Why is it important to know the CVE identifier?
CVE helps because it provides a standardized identifier for a given vulnerability or exposure. Knowing this common identifier allows you to quickly and accurately access information about the problem across multiple information sources that are compatible with CVE.
