Definition

The Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework (CVRF) is an XML-based standard designed to facilitate the sharing of security-related information across different organizations and systems. It provides a structured format for reporting vulnerabilities, enabling consistent and automated processing of security advisories. CVRF aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of vulnerability management by standardizing the way information is communicated.
