cve-schema

cve-schema specifies the CVE JSON record format. This is the blueprint for a rich set of JSON data that can be submitted by CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) and Authorized Data Publishers (ADPs) to describe a CVE record. Some examples of CVE record data include CVE ID number, affected product(s), affected version(s), and public references. While those specific items are required when assigning a CVE, there are many other optional data in the schema that can be used to enrich CVE records for community benefit.

This CVE JSON record format is defined using JSON Schema. Learn more about JSON Schema at: https://json-schema.org/ .

The latest version of the record format is 5.0. It is specified in the JSON schema at https://github.com/CVEProject/cve-schema/blob/master/schema/v5.0/CVE_JSON_5.0_schema.json

A single schema file with bundled dependencies is at https://github.com/CVEProject/cve-schema/blob/master/schema/v5.0/docs/CVE_JSON_5.0_bundled.json

Documentation about this format is available at https://cveproject.github.io/cve-schema/schema/v5.0/docs/
