Other CVE Containers
A CVE record may contain ADP (Authorized Data Publisher) containers in addition to the CNA container authored by the EEF CNA.
Those non-EEF containers are not covered by the CC-BY 4.0 license above.
They remain subject to:
- the applicable CVE.org Terms of Use
- the rights and terms of the respective authors or publishers
Where a CVE JSON record contains content from multiple sources, only the content authored by the EEF CNA in the CNA container is licensed under CC-BY 4.0 by the EEF CNA.
Scope Clarification
For clarity:
- EEF-authored OSV records: CC-BY 4.0
- EEF-authored CNA container content in CVE JSON: CC-BY 4.0
- ADP containers: licensed under their respective terms and not relicensed by the EEF CNA
The EEF CNA only applies CC-BY 4.0 to vulnerability data for which it is the author or rights holder.
