CNA 2005

VulDB is an officially certified CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) by MITRE and Authorized Data Publisher (ADP) by NIST NVD. We are authorized to handle new vulnerability submissions, assign unique CVEs and disclose them. CVE is an international program to discover vulnerabilities which are then assigned and published to the CVE list. Partners coordinate such CVE entries to communicate consistent descriptions. Information technology and cybersecurity professionals all around the world use CVE records to ensure they are discussing the same issues, and to coordinate their efforts to prioritize and address these properly.

Vendor

Identifying all affected vendors is a good starting point for an overview. This makes it possible to determine an homogeneous landscape or the most important hotspots in heterogeneous landscapes.

Product

Grouping vulnerabilities by products helps to get an overview. This makes it possible to determine an homogeneous landscape or the most important hotspots in heterogeneous landscapes.

Remediation

Official Fix2
Temporary Fix0
Workaround0
Unavailable0
Not Defined0

Vendors and researchers are eager to find countermeasures to mitigate security vulnerabilities. These can be distinguished between multiple forms and levels of remediation which influence risks differently.

Exploitability

High0
Functional0
Proof-of-Concept1
Unproven0
Not Defined1

Researcher and attacker which are looking for security vulnerabilities try to exploit them for academic purposes or personal gain. The level and quality of exploitability can be distinguished to determine simplicity and strength of attacks.

Access Vector

Not Defined0
Physical0
Local0
Adjacent1
Network1

The approach a vulnerability it becomes important to use the expected access vector. This is typically via the network, local, or physically even.

Authentication

Not Defined0
High0
Low1
None1

To exploit a vulnerability a certail level of authentication might be required. Vulnerabilities without such a requirement are much more popular.

User Interaction

Not Defined0
Required1
None1

Some attack scenarios require some user interaction by a victim. This is typical for phishing, social engineering and cross site scripting attacks.

The moderation team is always defining the base vector and base score for an entry. These and all other available scores are used to generate the meta score.

The moderation team is working with the threat intelligence team to determine prices for exploits. Our unique algorithm is used to identify the 0-day prices for an exploit, before it got distributed or became public. Calculated prices are aligned to prices disclosed by vulnerability broker and compared to prices we see on exploit markets.
