CNA 2018
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.
Remediation
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
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.
VulDB
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.
Exploit 0-day
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.
