  • 1.  What data format do you use for sharing vulnerability data?

    I'm looking at OpenVEX and the NVD CVE API formats. Are there other formats to consider and what are the pro and cons of each?

    We are generally using the OSV format, the CVE format is to limiting, although some of the problems have been fixed in CVE v5 it's not really a good fit for us. Long term we may end up using STIX or some SBOM format depending on exactly what we're doing.

    Thanks for the feedback Kurt. It's good to know. I'm also looking at OSV and SPDX. One thing I'm considering is using OSV with extended attributes for the individual CVSS attribute fields that the NVD CVE API schema has.
