Panel Discussion: Enabling Accurate, Decentralized Root Cause Mapping at Scale
summary
Working group pilots a federated model (RCM WG) that pairs CVE records with one or more CWE entries via the new CVE JSON data format; published guidance and a labeled “for vulnerability mapping” flag aim to fix CWE usability. Current data shows ~40% of CVEs list a weakness but likely <20% of CNAs assign CWE correctly. Experiments with AI/NLP give mixed results, so the group builds simple decision‑tree wizards and curates observed examples to scale accurate mapping.
