The FIRSTCON 2025 video is now online including a quick description of the GCVE initiative.
Although CVEs are a cornerstone of vulnerability management, they often present an incomplete view of the security landscape. Vulnerability-Lookup, a new open-source project developed by CIRCL, overcomes this limitation by providing a comprehensive and enriched vulnerability intelligence platform that extends beyond basic CVE data. This platform aggregates and correlates data from various sighting sources, such as exploit databases, vulnerability scanners, product advisories, and community contributions, offering a more complete picture of vulnerability threats. We will demonstrate how this richer level of detail enables security professionals to move beyond simple patch management and implement proactive, actionable, risk-based strategies.
