Welcome to the CERT Coordination Center Vulnerability Notes Database!

CERT/CC publishes information on a wide variety of vulnerabilities. Descriptions of these vulnerabilities are available from this web site in a searchable database format, and are published as "Vulnerability Notes." While we track every vulnerability we are aware of, we only publish information about certain vulnerabilities. Factors that determine whether or not we publish include the impact of the vulnerability, population of affected systems, and the availability of accurate information from other sources.

You can search or browse Vulnerability Notes by several key fields, including name, vulnerability ID number, CVE name, date updated, date public, or metric. You can also customize database queries to obtain specific information, such as the ten most recently updated vulnerabilities or the twenty vulnerabilities with the largest metric score.

The Vulnerability Notes database is cross-referenced with the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) catalog. You can search for vulnerabilities by CVE name or browse our list of vulnerabilities in CVE name order. This information allows you to easily cross reference vulnerabilities described here with those at other sites. More information about CVE can be found at their web site.

Detailed descriptions of the fields in Vulnerability Notes are available from our help page. Help is also available for customizing search queries and view features.

Your comments and suggestions on this database are greatly appreciated!
