CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)

CVE is a standardized system for identifying and naming security vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability receives a unique identifier (e.g., CVE-2024-1234) that allows security teams, vendors, and tools to reference the same issue unambiguously. The CVE database is maintained by MITRE Corporation and funded by CISA.

Why It Matters

CVE identifiers create a shared language for vulnerabilities. When a scanner reports CVE-2024-1234, you can look up the exact vulnerability, its severity, affected versions, and available patches — regardless of which tool found it.
