Timelines

A vulnerability has a lifecycle which is bound to different events. These events are documented in the timeline of the vulnerability. Like the disclosure of the advisory, announcement of an exploit or release of a patched software version.

Timelines help to understand the context of a vulnerability. For example they make it possible to determine the time until an issue was detected or the time between public disclosure and official fix.

Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
