Vulnerability management, perhaps unsurprisingly, relies on information about vulnerabilities. The results of most coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) efforts are, also unsurprisingly, disclosures, ideally public disclosures. What information does vulnerability management need? What information does CVD provide? How, in what formats? How do we assess quality and support automation? CISA Vulnerability Response and Coordination (VRC) publishes vulnerability information in CVE, CSAF, VEX, and a collection of related formats including SSVC, CVSS, CWE, and vers. This talk will detail our experience from collecting and analyzing vulnerability information to producing and publishing CSAF Advisories and CVE Records.
