Security Advisories and the GitHub Advisory Database have integrated Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to help manage security vulnerabilities more effectively. These systems provide a standardized way to assess and prioritize vulnerabilities by detailing their weaknesses, exploitability, and impact. Publicly-known vulnerabilities are identified by Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), which are published in the National Vulnerability Database and incorporated into GitHub's database through both NVD information and direct disclosures from maintainers. CWE provides a consistent language to describe software weaknesses, while CVSS offers a numerical severity score from 0.0 to 10.0, assessing the ease of exploitation and potential impact. GitHub employs CVSSv3.1 for scoring, allowing maintainers to include this information when disclosing vulnerabilities. This integration aids in evaluating the risk of vulnerabilities, such as those flagged by Dependabot alerts, and helps users make informed decisions about their security posture.
