Update to cve-schema to provide better support for CPE!! if you have integrations that rely on the cve-schema repo structure, please review the changes here. The latest version of the CVE JSON Record Format is 5.1.1. A single schema file with bundled dependencies is available here.
Note: The CVE Record Format now supports Authorized Data Publisher (ADP) containers there is one active ADP currently. The CVE Program uses a separate ADP container to provide additional CVE information (e.g., references) for some records. Access this README.md page here for more information about the CVE Program Container.
Note: Please refer to the CVE Services page here for known issues with the schema.
cve-schema specifies the CVE Record Format. This is the blueprint for a rich set of JSON data that can be submitted by CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) and Authorized Data Publishers (ADPs) to describe a CVE Record. Some examples of CVE Record data include CVE ID number, affected product(s), affected version(s), and public references. While those specific items are required when assigning a CVE, there are many other optional data in the schema that can be used to enrich CVE Records for community benefit.
