Comment on LinkedIn | Share this post

We have updated the collection of processes documentation for CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) on our CVEProject Documentation website on GitHub. Please note that while many of the documents are hosted on our GitHub website, some are hosted here on the main CVE website.

The purpose of the collection is to provide guidance and assistance to CNAs so that they can correctly fulfill their responsibilities for properly writing and completing the information required for each CVE Entry they submit to the Program Root CNA to be added to the CVE List, as defined by the CNA Rules, Version 2.0.
