China ALTERED its public vuln database to conceal spy agency tinkering – research

In November 2017, Recorded Future published research examining the publication speed for China’s National Vulnerability Database (CNNVD). While conducting that research, we discovered that China had a process for evaluating whether high-threat vulnerabilities had operational utility in intelligence operations before publishing them to the CNNVD. In revisiting that analysis, we discovered that CNNVD had altered their initial vulnerability publication dates in what we assess is an attempt to cover up that evaluation process.
