# CVE **CVE** is a shared acronym and name collision with two canonical meanings: - [[wiki/Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures|Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures]] — the public cybersecurity program that assigns persistent identifiers and structured records to publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. - [[wiki/Countering Violent Extremism|Countering Violent Extremism]] — the preventive national-security field concerned with reducing recruitment, radicalization, mobilization, and violence while strengthening resilience and off-ramps. [[wiki/CVE-CVE Convergence|CVE-CVE Convergence]] develops why this name collision is analytically important. Both meanings participate in the abstract defensive cycle **vulnerability → exposure → state change → propagation → detection → prioritization → intervention → remediation or resilience**. ## Relationships - **canonical entry:** [[wiki/Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures|Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures]]. - **second canonical meaning:** [[wiki/Countering Violent Extremism|Countering Violent Extremism]]. - **name-collision synthesis:** [[wiki/CVE-CVE Convergence|CVE-CVE Convergence]]. - **functional sociotechnical analogue:** [[wiki/Human CVE|Human CVE]]. - **cross-domain synthesis:** [[wiki/Contact Tracing|Contact Tracing]], [[wiki/Meyers Lab|Meyers Lab]], and [[wiki/Countering Violent Extremism|Countering Violent Extremism]]. - **master collection:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [CVE Program, “About CVE Records”](https://www.cve.org/Resources/Media/Archives/OldWebsite/cve/identifiers/index.html) (accessed 2026-09-23). - [DHS Science and Technology Directorate, *Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) — Developing a Research Roadmap*](https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/861_OPSR_TP_CVE-Developing-Research-Roadmap_Oct2017.pdf) (2017-10). **As of:** 2026-09-23
