# CVE ID Requests **(FREE SAAS)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/41203) in GitLab 13.4, only for public projects on GitLab.com.
|
|
|
|
As part of [our role as a CVE Numbering Authority](https://about.gitlab.com/security/cve/)
|
|
([CNA](https://cve.mitre.org/cve/cna.html)), you may request
|
|
[CVE](https://cve.mitre.org/index.html) identifiers from GitLab to track
|
|
vulnerabilities found within your project.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
CVE identifiers track specific vulnerabilities within projects. Having a CVE assigned to a
|
|
vulnerability in your project helps your users stay secure and informed. For example,
|
|
[dependency scanning tools](../application_security/dependency_scanning/index.md)
|
|
can detect when vulnerable versions of your project are used as a dependency.
|
|
|
|
## Conditions
|
|
|
|
If the following conditions are met, a **Request CVE ID** button appears in your issue sidebar:
|
|
|
|
- The project is hosted in GitLab.com.
|
|
- The project is public.
|
|
- You are a maintainer of the project.
|
|
- The issue is [confidential](../project/issues/confidential_issues.md).
|
|
|
|
## Submitting a CVE ID Request
|
|
|
|
Clicking the **Request CVE ID** button in the issue sidebar takes you to the new issue page for
|
|
the [GitLab CVE project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cves).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Creating the [confidential issue](../project/issues/confidential_issues.md) starts the CVE request process.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You are required to fill in the issue description, which includes:
|
|
|
|
- A description of the vulnerability
|
|
- The project's vendor and name
|
|
- Impacted versions
|
|
- Fixed versions
|
|
- The vulnerability type (a [CWE](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/index.html) identifier)
|
|
- A [CVSS v3 vector](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator)
|
|
|
|
## CVE Assignment
|
|
|
|
GitLab triages your submitted CVE ID request and communicates with you throughout the CVE validation
|
|
and assignment process.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Once a CVE identifier is assigned, you may use and reference it as you see fit.
|
|
|
|
Details of the vulnerability submitted in the CVE ID request are published according to your
|
|
schedule. It's common to request a CVE for an unpatched vulnerability, reference the assigned CVE
|
|
identifier in release notes, and later publish the vulnerability's details after the fix is
|
|
released.
|
|
|
|
Separate communications notify you when different stages of the publication process are complete.
