Because vulnerability management has nothing to do with national security, right?
Are you guys free yet?
My European friends here: do whatever you can to make EUVD a viable alternative. It’s a vulnerability database led by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity enisa. Since their website is relatively new, you can help by providing feedback though this survey. Yes, the CVE funding has been continued for another year. But a sustainable approach to vulnerability management cannot be dependent on a single government-owned / funded entity any longer! I wish the board members all the best in transferring CVE to a new umbrella organization, but now is a great time to also consider global alternatives.
It’s because the entire administration is a vulnerability
Oh my God, and then I think of all the hundreds of thousands of veterans who voted for Trump. You did a great job.

In an 11th-hour reprieve, the US government last night agreed to continue funding the CVE program.
Not sure how much more whiplash I can take…
They want us to all tune out. This is all by design so we don’t know what’s real or not anymore, then they can get away with even more and nobody will care.
This is what they’ve been doing for years and years, this is just more of the same.
I think a lot of it is too get and propogate misinformation because some people won’t hear about the 180s and still talk about as if they happened
I’m not sure about “they” the US government, but it’s absolutely a Russian/ Authoritarian state playbook.
Oh absolutely 100% this has had foreign involvement, the KGB handbook (literally) describes how to plant chaotic agents into a democratic nation’s population to boost both sides of every social debate or argument. The digital age made this the easiest tactic in the world and every nation that’s been “annexed” by Russia experienced this sowing of absolute weaponized bullshit and hate.
edit: several tankies follow me around downvoting my every comment and throwing tankie memes at me because they seeth when someone says that Russia did a bad thing. It’s quite charming, they can’t do much else because they’re blocked.
1000%
someone told them what the acronym really meant, musta thought it was an EV credit or something
Terrifying. Unfortunately it’s difficult to explain to laypeople why the CVE system is so important. Our nation’s leaders certainly won’t get it. Hopefully the experts are able to get through to them when it’s time to renew again. And maybe we can reduce our government dependence a bit by then.
They dont want national security.
They want to steal your property and destroy the country so they can reform it in their image.
Rather they want new vulnerabilities to go right to the market and remain unknown for longer, because that makes the surveillance and other criminal activity by the government easier.

😳 Is the program entirely funded by the US government?
What can EU and other governments/businesses do about this? Or what are they doing?
We as a society need to start defining our damn acronyms. Stop assuming everyone knows what every acronym is, because they do not.
Lucky for you the linked article explains the acronym!
Wait, you’re not one of those people who only reads headlines, are you?
okay, but pretty much anyone in software knows what CVE means, and anyone outside of software doesn’t need to know what CVE means… it’s almost as common in the professional context as CPU
CPU = Chief Party Unicorn
Yup. If you touch anything related to security, you know what a CVE is.

“I would have, but you died”? :D
I would have been your daddy…
It’s an old Halo CE reference that gets shortened to that acronym a lot.
Yeah, like several other people on the internet I’m not American, so I have no idea what this is about.
I’m not American, but CVE’s absolutely form the cornerstone of IT security, and are the trusted keystone of industry security globally.
GCVE is more confusing if anything
Ikr?

CVE program – the centralized Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database of product security flaws
Just in case
Edit: I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that didn’t know. When the headline reads like everyone should know I felt a little dumb for a second.
Thank you. I’ve never heard this acronym before, myself.
Yep, one of those things the IT department takes care of and most other people just need to know to keep their devices updated.
thank you i was spaghetti walling and none of my backronyms were fitting
Fascinating series of words I’ve never heard before
One of my favorite authors is PG Wodehouse and if I ever inadvertently phrase something like him I consider it a good day. He has 9 gazillion novels, 2 plots, and all of them are worth reading because of the way he can turn a phrase.
Spaghetti walling - I think this is another way of saying “throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks”, my guess from the old wives tale that you can test the doneness of spaghetti by seeing if it sticks when thrown at a wall.
Backronym - an acronym that was made by first deciding what the finished acronym should be, then working backwards to decide what it should stand for. Usually used by NASA nerds to make cool sounding projects or by politicians to make evil shit sound friendly and benign.
Hey, my wife isn’t that old!
Very cool
Very legal.
REPUBLICANS. Not some nebulous “uncle sam”. Republicans are turning off funding. They deserve 100% of the blame because they are 100% the cause.
Repugnicunts own the white house & house because Democraps in power didn’t do their jobs the last four years. Russian influence in elections? Obvious, yet not abated by NSA. Misinformation by Fox & Facebook, X? Also obvious. Also not abated (let’s go after TikTok!).
Blatant treason? No problem, we’ll let him take presidency after we DON’T CHECK THE VOTING IRREGULARITIES in VOTES COLLECTED BY THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTER TO TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN.
DNC is a shit-heap.
AOC & Sanders are lovely exceptions.
So far Crockett seems like a good 3rd addition to that list of Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders.
Democrats could have blocked this.
This fact is worth aknowledging as we see more and more of these horrible laws pass.
They certainly are complicit and not putting up nearly enough resistance. Republicans are still the cause, and democrats are refusing to do anything effectual to stop it. I’d love to eject them all, but my point is that this isn’t “uncle sam”, it’s republicans. And it wouldn’t have happened if the Republicans hadn’t started it.
Everyone with eyes can see the Republicans are completely corrupt and primarily responsible.
Standing by and watching fascism happen while you occupy the influential positions of power that can do something about it is just as bad, because that is only helping the Republicans by blocking resistance.
Democrats need to stand the fuck up or quit so someone with fucking balls can take their job
Yeah, I 100% agree.
Maybe the time is right for a 3rd party to rise?

This is not a law.
Changing agreed upon congressional spending requires a law.
By not forcing an arrest or even fighting the executive order congress is legitimizing and approving the order.
This is/was letting a contract expire. It’s not something that was brought up to the level of congress. Up until the last few years of supreme court decisions agencies were founded with broad powers in their domains, including discontinuing sub-programs.
That’s how it’ supposed to work. None of this has been brought to a vote, which would give Democrats the opportunity to oppose it. For “some reason” congressional Republicans are continuing their prior strategy while being a majority and having the leadership of just, not doing things.
How could Democrats have blocked this? Art thou speaking out thine ass?
Congress controls congressional spending.
The Democrats should say this is tyrannical and tell the truth to the people that we are at war and we need to remove the Russian assets from power.
I know you will keep making excuses for them to keep their power while doing nothing to help tho.
They’re fighting harder for non-citizens than citizens at this point it seems. Not entirely sure why.
It’s not Uncle Sam, or the USA shutting this down. It’s the Republican Administration. They’ve been empowered by the Republican led Congress to shut down anything it doesn’t like, understand, or benefit from.
False alarm
Updated to add at 1700 UTC, April 16 In an 11th-hour reprieve, the US government last night agreed to continue funding the CVE program.
I don’t think it’s a false alarm, in the sense that it is totally reasonable to be alarmed. They are cutting crucial stuff before they know what it is. There are a lot of things being cut where we’re only going to understand the impact years from now.
Sure, but there’s a limited bandwidth for people’s intake of information. This in particular is no longer a cause for alarm.
What a stable government
stable geniuses
Right before Windows 10 loses security updates too, what a coincidence. Wonder what the Russians are working on…
I was, like, w-what CVE program. I don’t know of any “CVE” programs that could be shut down, so I don’t know what that abbreviation refers to.
Unless…
…oh no. Fuck. The actual CVE program? And they’re just gonna- Shit.
What.
How.
I don’t know how many times I’ve said “America is fucked” when reading the news lately, and I should stop doing that, because that fact has now been so well established that there’s no need to elaborate.
