No Action Required: CVE for Software as a Service
summary
CVE assignment for SaaS now follows revised CNA rules (3.0 → 4.0) and requires showing no action required versus cases that need customer agency; CNAs report using CVSS/CWE, security bulletins and personal health dashboards, and have published ~51–61 exclusively hosted service tags so far. Cloud fixes often require coordinated rollout and compliance reporting, bug‑bounty NDAs can delay public disclosure, and CNAs prefer to own numbering to ensure consistent notification while third parties or MITRE remain a CNA-of-last-resort.
