Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures — the global catalog of publicly disclosed security flaws.
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is the industry-standard identifier system for publicly known security vulnerabilities. Each entry — like CVE-2025-29927 — pins one specific flaw in one product or library, so vendors, researchers, and scanners can all talk about the same issue without ambiguity.
Safeguard Gold tracks CVEs across every major open-source ecosystem, enriched with CVSS scores, affected and fixed versions, exploit availability, and remediation steps. When a package you depend on picks up a CVE, the affected versions and the upgrade path are listed on its package page.
