Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures is a system of unique identifiers (e.g., CVE-2024-12345) for publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Operated by the MITRE Corporation and funded by CISA, the CVE program provides a standard reference that vendors, researchers, and defenders use to discuss specific vulnerabilities without ambiguity.
CVE IDs are the universal language for referencing specific vulnerabilities. SOC analysts search for CVE IDs in vulnerability scanners. Threat intelligence analysts track exploitation trends by CVE. Penetration testers cite CVEs in reports. Every cybersecurity professional should know how to look up and interpret CVE entries.
