The expiration of U.S. government funding for MITRE's Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program poses a significant risk to global cybersecurity. The CVE program, integral since 1999, helps standardize the identification and cataloging of security flaws. MITRE's leadership warns that a lapse in funding could lead to a breakdown in national vulnerability databases and adversely affect critical infrastructure and incident response systems. In response, cybersecurity firms are taking proactive measures to mitigate potential impacts, indicating the program's importance in the ecosystem.
If a break in service were to occur, we anticipate multiple impacts to CVE, including deterioration of national vulnerability databases and advisories, tool vendors, incident response operations, and all manner of critical infrastructure.
A service break would likely degrade national vulnerability databases and advisories. This lapse could negatively affect tool vendors, incident response operations, and critical infrastructure broadly.
