1) Product Accessibility <CR_2.4>
Provide a short description of how and where your capability is made available to your customers and the public (required):
Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions users have access to CVE entries during the scan configuration and reporting phases. In each, the CVE mapping is presented with the vulnerability description and detail.
4) Map Currency Indication <CR_5.1>
Describe how and where your capability indicates the most recent CVE version used to create or update its mappings (required):
Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions monitors new and changed CVE entries via the CVE mailing list and changelog rather than merging the complete CVE database into the Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions VulnDB each time there is a CVE version update. Therefore it does not indicate a version number based on the CVE database.
5) Map Currency Update Approach <CR_5.2>
Indicate how often you plan on updating the mappings to reflect new CVE versions and describe your approach to keeping reasonably current with CVE versions when mapping them to your repository (recommended):
Foundstone has dedicated Threat Intelligence staff members whose sole duty is to maintain the accuracy of the Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions vulnerability database which includes tracking the proper CVE entry for each vulnerability. The staff will monitor both the CVE mailing list and change log located at https://cassandra.cerias.purdue.edu/CVE_changes/ Updates are issued on a weekly basis as new vulnerability checks are rolled.
6) Map Currency Update Time <CR_5.3>
Describe how and where you explain to your customers the timeframe they should expect an update of your capability's mappings to reflect a newly released CVE version (recommended):
Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions releases new vulnerabilities in a regular weekly cycle, this release also contains updates to the Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions VulnDB when appropriate (i.e. a CAN to CVE promotion).

CVE - Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
As various vulnerabilities appear in new products and technologies, several organizations track them, categorize them, and publish information about them. One of the best-known lists of vulnerabilities is the federally-funded CVE dictionary, maintained by the Mitre Corporation.
The CVE dictionary lists a name for each known vulnerability, and it gives each one a unique identification number. By providing common names and identifiers in a dynamic world of constantly growing technology, CVE provides the means of using multiple security tools and references as you find and fix vulnerabilities.Using CVE with Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions
Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions supports the standardization of vulnerability information by using CVE names and numbers throughout its database. You can search for this information in the Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions reports and by reviewing the Vulnerability Checklist. If you ever need more information about a specific vulnerability, you can look up the CVE number at https://cve.mitre.org.
To view the vulnerability checklist

About CVE Candidates
New vulnerabilities that have not yet received a CVE number are known as candidates, and are also referenced in the CVE database. Their identification numbers begin with the letters CAN to differentiate them from CVE vulnerabilities. The number assigned to the candidate is a combination of the current year (4 digits – YYYY) and an index number (also 4 digits – NNNN). If the candidate becomes a CVE, the letters CAN are replaced by CVE.
Sample Candidate ID: CAN-1999-0455 (Allaire ColdFusion openfile.cfm File Upload)
Sample CVE ID: CVE-2001-0455 (Cisco Aironet 340 Series WLAN AP Web Administration Access)
How candidates become full CVE entries
Foundstone subscribes to Mitre Corporation's email list for CVE updates. This allows Foundstone to be aware of any CVE candidates that have been upgraded to CVE entries. Using this list and by adding newly developed vulnerability checks, Foundstone keeps the Foundstone Enterprise Risk Solutions database up-to-date. Foundstone customers receive the updated database along and vulnerability checks on a regular basis, ensuring timely, accurate information.
