405- The :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` class is based on the `National
406 Vulnerability Database <https://nvd.nist.gov/>`__ (NVD). Since the beginning
407 of 2024, the maintainers of this database have stopped annotating CVEs with
408 the affected CPEs. This prevents the :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` class to
409 properly report CVEs as CPEs are used to match Yocto recipes with CVEs
410 affecting them. As a result, the current CVE reports may look good but the
411 reality is that some vulnerabilities are just not reported.
412
413 During that time, users may look up the 'CVE database
414 <https://www.cve.org/>'__ for entries concerning software they use, or follow
415 release notes of such projects closely.
416
417 Please note, that the :ref:`ref-classes-cve-check` tool has always been a
418 helper tool, and users are advised to always review the final result. Results
419 of an automatic scan may not take into account configuration options,
420 compiler options and other factors.
