CVE Reference Key

Introduction

Each reference used in CVE has the following structure:

    SOURCE : NAME

  • SOURCE is an alphanumeric keyword.
  • NAME is a single line of ASCII text. It can include colons and spaces.

Where possible, the NAME is selected to facilitate search on a SOURCE's web site.

For references that do not have a well-defined identifier, a release date and/or subject header may be included.

Reference Order

This is a relatively new recommendation, so it is not used in all entries or candidates. References may be listed in the following order:

  • Initial announcement
  • Response team advisory
  • Vendor acknowledgement / advisory
  • All other public sources

Others may appear in random order.
