MITRE (https://cve.mitre.org/cve/ (Links to an external site.)) continuously updates the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) database with vulnerabilities to hardware and software. This database contains information about vulnerabilities including a description, references, and a link to the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The NVD is maintained by National Institute for Standard and Technology (NIST). In this discussion you will search the NVD for a CVE of your choice and post about it.

Browse to the NVD at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search (Links to an external site.) and search for the title of a program installed on your system or of interest to you; i.e. Abode Reader. If you search does not return a result, search again. Pick a vulnerably and describe it to the class. Include things like a quick overview and how it ranks out of 10. Talk about the risk it poses to you or your system. Include the link in your reference section using APA style.

In your peer responses (2 minimum) suggest possible mitigation paths or additional threats you could see from the software.
