The CVE program for tracking security flaws is about to lose federal funding


CVEs are used by Microsoft, Apple, Intel, and many others.

MITRE, the federally funded organization behind the program, confirmed to The Verge that its contract to “develop, operate, and modernize” CVE will expire on April 16th. The IDs consist of the letters “CVE” followed by a year and a number, such as CVE-2022-27254, allowing security professionals to monitor details about the vulnerabilities that may impact the devices we use every day and systems that contain information critical to practically everything we do. A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.
