    everything the US gov helps funds now has a question mark over whether it’ll still be here in 4 years…

        tbf to the US they fund an absolute ton of things, eg. I didn’t realise they helped fund lets encrypt and now the CVE database either, I assume it’ll be a drip feed of things being cancelled slowly over time as they find them all

        It won’t be here next year, but it won’t be here in four years too.

      I’m don’t trust any .gov sites anymore. If I’m researching and I see that it’s a government site, I move on. I can’t trust that info.

      The whole thing is scary

    OMG I’ve been motherfucking looking for this EUVD for the past weeks and only found references and info pages, but never the actual fucking database!! Finally I know it exists.

    Why is it hidden? Why does it have that braindead URL? And why, for the love of god, does it have a separate numbering scheme?!

      Why does it have that braindead URL?

      euvd.enisa.europa.eu -> European Union Vulnerability Database, run by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (from the previous name, European Network and Information Security Agency ENISA), hosted on the official website of the european union, europa.eu.

      And why, for the love of god, does it have a separate numbering scheme?!

      Because they want the ability to reference other vulnerability sources - like JVN - and not just CVE:

      The EUVD service builds upon the CVE system and vulnerabilities in the scope of the CVE numbering service receive a CVE. In addition, the EUVD data aggregates and enriches the vulnerability information and lists an EUVD ID on top of the CVE when new vulnerability entries are created. To allow further cross referencing, the CVE identifier and additional vulnerability identifiers are listed when available. -https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/faq

      And because, you know, standards.

      I can only assume the stories about CVE have pushed it to the top but I just search “European vulnerability database” and first link went to the database.

    Could it be a good candidate for federation? There’s already a few naming standards that would allow a bit of a common ground. And maybe eliminate a few of the big points of failure.

      Distributed hosting isn’t really a problem here, its distributed funding for the staff.

    Im sure DOGE will replace it with a more efficient way for the government to track all of the bugs its computers might be vulnerable to…

    Lmao come on. Some people in the EU speak English and knew that naming your standard “European Union Venereal Disease” was a bad idea.
