Kurt Seifried and Josh Bressers,

The CVE Board encourages innovative approaches to improve cybersecurity. In this regard, we wish you the best of luck with respect to improving the vulnerability management ecosystem.

It has come to the CVE Board’s attention that DWF has recently begun attempting to issue CVE IDs via its GitHub community site. To the CVE Board’s knowledge, DWF has issued at least eight ID numbers that DWF purports to be “CVE” IDs. As you are aware, only CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) approved by the CVE Board are authorized to issue valid CVE IDs. DWF is not an approved CNA.

Attempts by non-CNAs to issue unauthorized “CVE” IDs is disruptive to the CVE numbering system no matter where these unapproved IDs fall in the numbering order, and this creates confusion in the CVE contributor and user communities. Issuing unauthorized “CVE” IDs undermines public trust in the entire CVE system. This erosion of trust degrades the CVE community’s ability to provide a free public resource to track vulnerabilities and reduce cybersecurity risk. Further, we consider issuing unauthorized “CVE” IDs to be unfair competition and a misappropriation of the trusted “CVE” brand that the CVE community has spent many years building. Finally, MITRE confirms it has not licensed DWF to use this mark, which is a registered trademark of the MITRE Corporation.

The CVE Board welcomes contributions from the cybersecurity community and encourages organizations to apply for CNA status. The CVE Board notes that DWF has not attempted to reapply for CNA status, and invites DWF do so. However, until DWF is an approved CNA, the CVE Board requests that DWF cease issuing “CVE” IDs and rename all current and future IDs that DWF issues.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
