Improving Interoperability in Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure with Vultron

Published: Feb. 24, 2023, 6:56 p.m.

Coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD) begins when at least one individual becomes aware of a vulnerability, but it can\u2019t proceed without the cooperation of many. Software supply chains, software libraries, and component vulnerabilities have evolved in complexity and have become as much a part of the CVD process as vulnerabilities in vendors\u2019 proprietary code. Many CVD cases now require coordination across multiple vendors. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), Allen Householder, a senior vulnerability and incident researcher in the SEI\u2019s CERT Division, talks with principal researcher Suzanne Miller about\xa0Vultron, a protocol for multi-party coordinated vulnerability disclosure (MPCVD).
