The CVE program, fundamental for security identification, is facing potential funding loss after a surprising letter from MITRE's director. Kent Landfield, a founding board member, expressed shock upon receiving this news, which caught the board off guard. Since its inception in 1999, MITRE has managed the CVE, supporting a collaborative effort among various sectors in cybersecurity. The board, which includes diverse representatives, contributes to the program's direction but was unaware of the funding uncertainty until the last minute, indicating a lack of communication and transparency in the decision-making process.
Not-for-profit outfit MITRE, based in Massachusetts and Virginia, has had a contract with the US government to operate the CVE program since its inception in 1999.
Landfield and other board members were caught off guard when they learned funding for the CVE program had not been renewed, calling it a complete surprise.
