| Description | identifier of an information security vulnerability |
|---|---|
| Represents | Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures ID (Q627226) |
| Data type | External identifier |
| Domain | vulnerability (Q631425), software (Q7397), electronic machine (Q3395171) |
| Allowed values | CVE-\d{4}-\d{4} |
| Example | |
| Source | National Vulnerability Database, CVE List Master Copy |
| Planned use | Linking of information security vulnerabilities and impacted software/devices to CVE numbers, allowing the external CVE database to be queried to discover additional technical details about vulnerabilities, software and devices included in Wikidata. |
| Formatter URL | https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=$1 |
- Motivation
CVE numbers have long been established by the computer security industry as the primary method to uniquely identify security vulnerabilities impacting software and devices (such as routers). NIST and MITRE Corporation maintain a public CVE database that is regularly updated with new vulnerabilities which are known and/or reported in public. Linking of the CVE database to Wikidata by CVE numbers will allow for detailed information to be queried from the remote CVE database on the security of software and devices known to Wikidata.

- Support. I support the creation of this property. I think it will help us provide information about vulnerabilities.YULdigitalpreservation (talk) 13:22, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
