The CVE program, critical for global cybersecurity, narrowly avoided closure after its funding contract with the DHS was extended for 11 months. Concerns over the potential impacts of a service disruption prompted CVE board members to establish the CVE Foundation to ensure the program's future stability.

The EU cyber agency ENISA has introduced the EU Vulnerability Database (EUVD) to enhance vulnerability tracking, coinciding with ongoing funding challenges faced by MITRE's CVE program. Experts suggest this move reflects Europe’s desire for greater autonomy in cybersecurity, with the EUVD aiming to complement existing systems rather than replace them.
