The CWE Program: Current State and Road Ahead
summary
CWE adopts a federation model since 2019, adds Hardware coverage and a REST API, and runs a GitHub-based CWE Content Development Repository now in pilot with a public launch planned in spring; the schema (CWE 7.0) adds per-entry vulnerability mapping notes. Analysis of ~44,000 CVEs used for the Top 25 inspects ~7,466 records and finds 5,347 remapped (≈71% of that sample), while 276 CNAs supply CWE tags and roughly 100 hardware CWEs now exist.
