Submission + - U.S. Government Funding for MITRE's CVE Program to Expire

SigmaTao writes: The U.S. government funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, operated by non-profit research giant MITRE, is set to expire on April 16. This could have significant impacts on the cybersecurity ecosystem, including the deterioration of national vulnerability databases and advisories, as well as delays in vulnerability disclosures.

MITRE remains committed to the program, but warns of potential consequences if the contracting pathway is not maintained. The CVE program is a foundational pillar of the global cybersecurity ecosystem, offering a standard for identifying and cataloging publicly disclosed security flaws.
