# CVE ID request
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com
For any public project, you can request a CVE identifier (ID).
A [CVE](https://cve.mitre.org/index.html) identifier is assigned to a publicly-disclosed software
vulnerability. GitLab is a [CVE Numbering Authority](https://about.gitlab.com/security/cve/)
([CNA](https://cve.mitre.org/cve/cna.html)).
Assigning a CVE ID 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.
A common vulnerability workflow is:
1. Request a CVE for a vulnerability.
1. Reference the assigned CVE identifier in release notes.
1. Publish the vulnerability's details after the fix is released.
## Prerequisites
To [submit a CVE ID Request](#submit-a-cve-id-request) the following prerequisites must be met:
- The project is hosted on GitLab.com.
- The project is public.
- You are a maintainer of the project.
- The vulnerability's issue is [confidential](../project/issues/confidential_issues.md).
## Submit a CVE ID request
To submit a CVE ID request:
1. Go to the vulnerability's issue and select **Create CVE ID Request**. The new issue page of
the [GitLab CVE project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/cves) opens.
1. In the **Title** box, enter a brief description of the vulnerability.
1. In the **Description** box, enter the following details:
- A detailed description of the vulnerability
- The project's vendor and name
- Impacted versions
- Fixed versions
- The vulnerability class (a [CWE](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/index.html) identifier)
- A [CVSS v3 vector](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator)
GitLab updates your CVE ID request issue when:
- Your submission is assigned a CVE.
- Your CVE is published.
- MITRE is notified that your CVE is published.
- MITRE has added your CVE in the NVD feed.
## CVE assignment
After a CVE identifier is assigned, you can reference it as required. Details of the vulnerability
submitted in the CVE ID request are published according to your schedule.
