After last month's CVE funding crisis, I started talking to experts on what went wrong and what's ahead.

By the end of my interviews, I learned that a chief rival to the CISA-funded MITRE-run program, the CVE Foundation, thinks it can have a CVE database not dependent on the US government up and running by December, with the support of dozens of private sector companies and four non-US governments.

Check out my latest CyberScoop piece. Thanks to Sasha Romanosky, Peter Allor, Jerry Gamblin, Ben Edwards, Jay Jacobs and Michael Roytman for their insight.

@azonenberg @gsuberland I saw a teardown of a disposable vape a while back. This thing was a full fledged Android device, with WiFi and Bluetooth, and the ability to install apps. You could tether it to your phone, listen to music, take phone calls ... and then bin it when the battery went flat.

Of course it also had the all-important GPIO + power transistor to let it dump a pile of energy into a low impedance load on demand ... almost like it was designed to be a perfect trigger for an IED.
