7) CVE and Compatibility Documentation<CR_4.1>
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes CVE and CVE compatibility for your customers (required):
Included in the User Manual Appendix:
The LR Assist vulnerabilities information is provided by CVE.
CVE is a list of information security vulnerabilities and exposures that aims to provide common names for publicly known problems. The goal of CVE is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability capabilities (tools, repositories, and services) with this "common enumeration."
CVE-compatible means:
- CVE SEARCHABLE - A user can search using a CVE Identifier to find related information.
- CVE OUTPUT - Information is presented that includes the related CVE Identifier(s).
- MAPPING - The repository owner has provided a mapping relative to a specific version of CVE, and has made a good faith effort to ensure accuracy of that mapping.
- DOCUMENTATION - The organization's standard documentation includes a description of CVE, CVE compatibility, and the details of how its customers can use the CVE-related functionality of its product or service.
8) Documentation of Finding Elements Using CVE Names <CR_4.2>
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of where your documentation describes the specific details of how your customers can use CVE names to find the individual security elements within your capability's repository (required):

The documentation does not currently include an index.
11) Candidates Versus Entries Indication <CR_6.1>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain how you indicate that candidates are not accepted CVE entries (required):
The difference between candidates and entries has effectively disappeared, and a set of candidates has not been promoted since 2004. As such, LR Assist does not make any distinction between the two, other than displaying the CVE Status as one of the fields. It is possible to restrict the search results based on the CVE Status field, but this feature may be removed depending on how the CVE Board updates the information in future versions.
12) Candidates Versus Entries Explanation <CR_6.2>

If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain your policy for changing candidates into entries within your capability and describe where and how this is communicated to your customers (recommended):
LR Assist will automatically download and update the information from CVE on a daily basis. If there were any changes in status for an existing CVE entry or candidate, then the changes would be updated to LR Assist.
14) Candidate and Entry Search Support <CR_6.4>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN portion of the CVE names (recommended):
LR Assist will automatically download and update the information from CVE on a daily basis. If there were any changes in status for an existing CVE entry or candidate, then the changes would be updated to LR Assist.
26) Finding Online Capability Tasks Using CVE Names <CR_A.4.1>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a "find" or "search" function is available to the user to locate tasks in the online capability by looking for their associated CVE name or through an online mapping that links each element of the capability with its associated CVE name(s) (required):
LR Assist allows a user to find information for a number of different information security topics. To find a particular vulnerability using a CVE name, after logging in to LR Assist the user can click on the 'Vulnerabilities' heading, select the 'Search by ID' option and enter the CVE ID in the text box. Clicking on 'Search' will then take the user directly to the required information. LR Assist will also recognize an ID entered in non-standard ways, such as using the digits only, using both CAN and CVE prefixes, and using all, some, or none of the separators.
27) Online Capability Interface Template Usage <CR_A.4.1.1>
Provide a detailed description of how someone can use your "URL template" to interface to your capability's search function (recommended):
Examples:
http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/db-search.cgi?cvename=CVE-YYYY-NNNN
http://www.example.com/cve/CVE-YYYY-NNNN.htmlThe URL template can be used to access a particular CVE in the following way: https://support.tecforte.com/lr_assist/Servlet?cmd=searchCVE&searchType=searchID&from=result&txtID=CVE-YYYY-NNNN
