Open Source Fuzzing

• Kent suggested that the CVE Board sponsor a workshop on automated vulnerability identification, target will be open source. This workshop would then expand our open source conversations as well. David suggested putting out a call for papers on this topic, like what Google submitted about OSS-Fuzz. The group agreed on the approaches.

 

Open Discussion

CVE Board items voting priority

• End of Life Process Document
• CVE Board Charter (Exceptions usage for the first time)

Open Source Project Champion

CVE Global Summit
