Security Week is one of several outlets reporting
that the funding for the CVE program at MITRE disappears as of
April 16.

Maintained by MITRE Corporation, a not-for-profit organization that
operates federal R&D centers, the CVE program is funded through
multiple channels, including the U.S. government, industry
partnerships, and international organizations.

Earlier this month, in anticipation of the US government funding
cuts, MITRE initiated layoffs that affected more than 400 employees
in its Virginia office. The cuts were ordered after the Trump
administration announced more than $28 million in canceled
contracts for the company.
