CVE Foundation Launches CVE Program

Less Malware and Higher Wire Fraud in 2024

The CVE Foundation was launched to ensure the long-term stability and independence of the CVE Program. This program, a vital cybersecurity tool for 25 years, has been the cornerstone for tracking and managing software vulnerabilities. The CVE Program’s unique identifiers and open database have allowed security teams, vendors, and governments worldwide to collaborate on cybersecurity threats. However, the expiration of MITRE’s U.S. government contract raised concerns about the future of vulnerability tracking.

The expiration of MITRE’s contract with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on April 16, 2025, created significant uncertainty. The potential disruption to national vulnerability databases, security advisories, and incident response efforts alarmed experts. A lapse in the CVE Program could have left defenders without essential information, weakening global cybersecurity defenses.

This led to fears of gaps in vulnerability tracking, making it harder to respond to emerging cyber threats effectively.

In response to this risk, CVE stakeholders and Board members worked for a year to establish the CVE Foundation. The Foundation is designed to be an independent, non-profit organization tasked with managing the CVE Program. By taking the program out of government hands, the Foundation seeks to ensure continuity and remove dependence on a single sponsor.

This transition will help maintain the program’s neutrality and global trust in its data and infrastructure.

The cybersecurity community has generally welcomed the Foundation’s creation. Many experts, security vendors, and organizations have pledged their support for the transition. The CVE Foundation’s mission is to maintain the integrity and availability of vulnerability data for global defenders. The transition to an independent body reflects the growing importance of collaboration in addressing international cybersecurity threats.
