CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)

What is a CVE?

A CVE, or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures entry, is a standardized identifier used to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Why it matters
CVE identifiers create a common language for discussing vulnerabilities across tools, vendors, and researchers. They simplify vulnerability tracking, patch management, and threat intelligence sharing.

How it works
Each CVE ID includes a description, references, and a unique identifier (e.g., CVE-2025-12345). CVEs are managed by MITRE and used globally to help organizations coordinate response and remediation.
