What is CSAF (Common Security Advisory Framework)?

Also known as: CSAF, VEX

CSAF (Common Security Advisory Framework) is the OASIS standard for publishing security advisories in a machine-readable JSON format, so tools can automatically tell which products and versions are affected.

Vendors publish CSAF feeds with their advisories; CSAF VEX documents state whether a product is actually affected by a vulnerability in one of its components.
