CVE was at real risk of closure after its contract was set to expire on April 16. The nonprofit MITRE runs CVE on a contract with the DHS. A letter last Tuesday sent Tuesday by Yosry Barsoum, vice president of MITRE, gave notice of the potential halt to operations. Another possible victim of the current administration. CVE Foundation Launched to Secure the Future of the CVE Program CVE Board members have spent the past year developing a strategy to transition CVE to a dedicated, non-profit foundation. The new CVE Foundation will focus solely on continuing the mission of delivering high-quality vulnerability identification and maintaining the integrity and availability of CVE data for defenders worldwide. Over the coming days, the Foundation will release more information about its structure, transition planning, and opportunities for involvement from the broader community.
