How It Works
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)
A public catalog that gives each known software security flaw a unique ID, such as CVE-2024-3094, so vendors, researchers and defenders can refer to the same problem. AI labs now cite CVE counts when describing models that find or exploit vulnerabilities.
Origin
Launched in 1999 by the MITRE Corporation, with funding from the U.S. government; it is now run by the CVE Program with MITRE as its secretariat.
