CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)

CVE, or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, is a system that identifies and catalogues publicly known cybersecurity weaknesses in software and hardware. Each CVE entry provides a unique identifier, along with a brief description of the vulnerability and its potential impact. This standardized format helps security professionals and organizations quickly understand risks and apply fixes or mitigations. By providing a common reference, CVEs facilitate communication about security issues across the industry, helping to enhance overall cybersecurity and protect systems from potential attacks.
