UPDATE: Infrastructure upgrades on the CVE website were completed, and normal operations resumed, on December 10, 2020 at 11:00 p.m. (EST). We apologize for any inconvenience. Please contact us with any comments or concerns.

The CVE Program is upgrading the infrastructure used to add CVE List content to the CVE website. As a result, from 6:00 a.m. through 11:00 p.m. (EST) on December 10, 2020 any data that is updated daily on a periodic basis (e.g., CVE List, @CVEnew tweets, download files) will not be updated. Normal operations are scheduled to resume on December 10, 2020 at 11:00 p.m. (EST).

Previously published CVE List content on the CVE website will remain accessible, as will all other website content, during the upgrades. In addition, submissions via the CVE Request Web Form and GitHub (CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs)-only) may still be made during this time but will processed once the upgrade is completed.

This announcement was also posted to Twitter and LinkedIn.

JPCERT/CC posted a blog article on December 4, 2020 that explained its role as a Root CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) and announced Mitsubishi Electric and LINE Corporation as CNAs with JPCERT/CC as their Root CNA.

In addition to announcing that two organizations have joined the CVE Program as CNAs, JPCERT/CC also encouraged other organizations in Japan to participate: “As a CNA, JPCERT/CC assigns CVE IDs to reported vulnerabilities, when publishing the advisories on JVN. However, considering the nature of CVE IDs, it would be more natural for the product developers who can acknowledge and verify the vulnerabilities to assign CVE IDs on their own, than by the organizations who coordinate and publish vulnerability information. The involvement of the 2 new CNAs is welcome by the CVE Program, as vendors’ participation to the program as CNAs is highly encouraged … If you are interested in becoming a CNA or have any opinions on this topic, please contact us at vuls@jpcert.or.jp.”
