About this tag
Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) is a security philosophy that emphasizes collaboration between vendors, researchers, and customers to resolve vulnerabilities with minimal risk. Microsoft has adopted CVD, shifting from the term 'responsible disclosure' to highlight the need for coordination. The approach involves privately disclosing vulnerabilities to the vendor, allowing time for a patch before public release. Microsoft's CVD practices include security advisories, such as the update for the Microsoft Malware Protection Engine addressing a denial-of-service vulnerability, and regular bulletin releases like the April 2011 update covering 64 vulnerabilities. The goal is to protect customers from cyberattacks by ensuring timely and coordinated responses to security issues.
