Methodology

CVE Hub uses an automation-assisted, human-edited workflow.

Automation helps with sourcing and enrichment. Publication decisions remain editorial.

How topics are selected

Priority goes to issues that combine several of the following:

  • meaningful real-world exposure
  • credible exploitation paths or active interest from attackers
  • weak vendor communication that needs translation
  • high defender impact, even when the CVSS score alone is misleading
  • educational value for readers trying to improve their own triage process

What automation is allowed to do

Automation may be used to:

  • collect candidate CVEs and related advisories
  • gather references, patch links, and public exploit indicators
  • produce draft structure and metadata
  • assist with comparison, summarization, and archive maintenance

What automation is not allowed to do on its own

Automation should not publish unchecked claims.

Posts are expected to be reviewed for:

  • source authenticity
  • product and vendor accuracy
  • exploitability claims
  • mitigation quality
  • leftover placeholders, filler, or unsupported statements

Editorial standards

Every post should try to answer four questions:

  1. Why should anyone care?
  2. What is technically happening?
  3. How urgent is it in practice?
  4. What should defenders or decision-makers do next?

Confidence and uncertainty

Not every vulnerability arrives with complete evidence.

When the facts are incomplete, CVE Hub should:

  • say what is known
  • say what is inferred
  • label confidence clearly
  • link back to primary sources so readers can verify the reasoning
