CVE, GLOBAL SOURCE OF CYBERSECURITY INFO, WAS HOURS FROM BEING CUT BY DHS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

The Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) repository, a 25-year-old program run by MITRE for DHS, serves as the global cybersecurity standard for identifying and documenting security vulnerabilities. Yesterday, there were rumors that MITRE's contract would expire, but it has received an 11-month extension from CISA, averting potential widespread disruption to vulnerability management worldwide.
