The Quality Imperative for CVEs: The Need For Enhancing Vulnerability Reporting Standards
summary
CVE records often publish with only three required fields and the sole automated description check is a 1–4,916 character length limit; the CVE schema lists 163 keys with ~60% documented and the NVD schema has 262 keys with ~3% documented. Roughly 80.1% have products so 20% miss minimum data. Data distribution via GitHub-only distribution breaks tooling and access. Proposals: require CVSS/CPE/CWE, store advisory text, provide maintained GUI/CLI/SDKs, add AI-assisted enrichment, certification and quarterly CNA scorecards.
