Which of the following best describes the purpose of the CVE system?
A ranking system for the severity of cybersecurity threats
A specific type of cybersecurity vulnerability exploit
A system for fixing and patching cybersecurity flaws
A standardized list of identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities
The correct answer is A standardized list of identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities, as the CVE system provides a common nomenclature for publicly known information-security vulnerabilities and exposures, which is a foundational element for effective data exchange and cybersecurity assessment. Answer B is incorrect because CVE does not involve fixing vulnerabilities but rather identifying and cataloging them. Answer C is incorrect as CVE is not a vulnerability exploit itself but a reference for known vulnerabilities. Answer D is incorrect because CVE does not determine the severity of vulnerabilities but rather provides a reference so that severity can be assessed through other means, such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS).
