SecPod produces security advisories in CVRF format

SecPod intends to publish security advisories in an XML format that conforms to Common Vulnerability Reporting Format (CVRF version 1.1).

SecPod intends to publish security advisories in an XML format that conforms
to Common Vulnerability Reporting Format (CVRF version 1.1).

What is CVRF?
The Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework is an XML-based standard that
enables sharing of vulnerability information in a machine-readable format.
Originally derived from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) draft Incident
Object Description Exchange Format (IODEF), this format was then developed by
the Industry Consortium for Advancement of Security on the Internet (ICASI).

CVRF Provides Two Key Benefits:
(1) It provides a consistent way to depict security information thus simplifying
the interpretation of the advisories, and
(2) It provides a machine-readable format for the interpretation of security
advisories, thus allowing automation (and integration of the advisories in,
for example, vulnerability scanning tools).

One of our advisory in CVRF format:
Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA Software Persistence Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.

Root-Level RCE Flaw in Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches Exposes Networks to Complete Compromise — CVE-2026-20212

CVE-2026-20212 is a critical vulnerability in Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches that use Silicon One ASICs. It allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute code with root privileges by sending crafted input to TCP ports 43210 and 43211, which are reachable in the default Layer 3 VRF. Exploitation can also crash the S1HAL process and force a device reload. This article covers how the vulnerability works, the affected product identifiers, its potential impact, available workarounds, and how to identify fixed software using the Cisco Software Checker.
