From Discovery to Disclosure: A Policy Analysis of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Models
Keywords:
Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD), Cybersecurity Policy, Vulnerability Management, Machine Learning in Security, International Collaboration in CybersecurityAbstract
This paper discusses the development, usability, and prospects of the Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) models in cybersecurity practice and use. The vulnerability disclosure is a process that enables the discovery and reporting of security flaws within software systems and is crucial in countering the onslaught of cyber threats. The study contrasts lower historical designs, such as Full Disclosure and Responsible Disclosure, with the CVD model because it provides a partnership among security researchers, vendors, and end-users to tackle vulnerabilities quickly and openly. CVD seeks to maximize exploitation prevention to release patches as fast as possible. Television commercials, CVD still experiences some barriers such as communication gaps, legal obscurity, and slow delivery of patches. As directions of future work, it is possible to expand the scope of the investigation by studying different geographies, sectors, and the natures of vulnerabilities, by including AI-related models into vulnerability triaging, and contributing to policy formation across nations aimed at harmonizing the disclosure policies. The improvement of vulnerability detection and tracking, which would enhance transparency and security, could be achieved through technological progress, especially when it comes to machine learning and other blockchain contributions. The third-party vendors, consumers, and ethical hackers will also contribute to the enhanced effectiveness of CVD models since they will establish stronger links between public-private collaboration. Through such areas, the study will contribute to the development of more effective, internationally accepted, and safe systems of vulnerability management that can alleviate the current levels of cybersecurity complexities. The lessons underline the importance of trust, communication, and international collaboration for a successful coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
