The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database is an important part of modern cyber security. It’s a central database of vulnerabilities found in operating systems and applications, which can be abused by hackers and malware to attack targets in various ways.
On Tuesday, the defense non-profit MITRE Corporation said its funding to maintain the CVE database will expire on Wednesday. At the same time, the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) program will also lose its funding.
