NIST Curtails CVE Enrichment Amid Vulnerability Surge

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is overhauling its approach to enriching entries in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) due to a staggering 263% surge in vulnerability submissions. To keep pace, NIST will now prioritize enrichment for only the most critical entries that meet specific conditions.

NIST Shifts Focus to Enriching Exploited Vulnerabilities

The National Vulnerability Database is shifting gears: going forward, it'll prioritize enriching newly reported and actively exploited vulnerabilities, temporarily deprioritizing older entries. This change comes as the database faces an unprecedented surge in reported software flaws, with a record number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) submitted.
