DOGE has terminated MITRE's CVE contract

3. "...MITRE has been the keeper via DARPA and other government funding..." The keeper of what?

Maybe explain more about what/who MITRE and CVE are/do? Or CVE?

I found this on Wikipedia, but it seems as if there's likely, out of 9,000+ employees, some one or even a few thousand of them will hold things together for free. Because if MITRE and CVE are as important as you say, and they love this work and know it's a matter of national security, they'll find funding somewhere. Am I being naive? I mean, McLean is the real home of the CIA, not Langley. It's not as if the CIA doesn't have a black budget and can't recover from a $2 billion loss, right?

Do you have any other info about why DOGE wants to extract revenue from this particular part of our national security?
