The CERT Guide to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure
The CERT Guide to CVD is a comprehensive guide to the CVD process, which is the process of gathering information from vulnerability finders, coordinating the sharing of that information between relevant stakeholders, and disclosing the existence of software vulnerabilities and their mitigations to various stakeholders including the public.
Vulnerability Information and Coordination Environment (VINCE)
VINCE is the Vulnerability Information and Coordination Environment developed and used by the CERT Coordination Center to improve coordinated vulnerability disclosure. VINCE is a Python-based web platform. This site contains VINCE documentation including a User Manual and FAQ. You can report a bug, feature request, or other issue in the VINCE GitHub project.
Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC)
SSVC is a risk-based prioritization framework that provides a method for modeling decisions about vulnerability response.
Vultron is a protocol for Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) that aims to provide interoperability across organizations' CVD processes. It is rooted in the CERT Guide to CVD and the SSVC framework.
Coordinating with the CERT/CC
To request the CERT/CC's assistance in coordinating a vulnerability report, you can submit a Vulnerability Report
