Copyright & Take-down Policy

What we publish

CVE Tools aggregates public CVE-related publications from third-party security news sources and vendor research blogs. We respect copyright holders' rights and respond promptly to valid take-down requests.

For each aggregated article we display:

• Article title
• The list of CVE identifiers it discusses (factual data)
• Published date
• Source name and a canonical link to the original article
• For some sources, a short summary written by our team

The full body of the original article is not republished on CVE Tools.

Filing a take-down notice (DMCA §512)

If you believe content displayed on CVE Tools infringes your copyright, send a written notification to our designated agent containing:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed (URL of the original article and a description).
2. Identification of the material on CVE Tools that you want removed — include the full URL of the cve.tools page (e.g. https://cve.tools/news/<slug>).
3. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, phone number, and email.
4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the contested use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
6. A physical or electronic signature of the authorised person.

Designated agent

CVE Tools
Attn: DMCA Designated Agent
[REGISTERED MAILING ADDRESS — to be filled by operator]

We aim to acknowledge valid notices within 2 business days and to disable access to the contested URL within 5 business days of receipt, faster for clear-cut cases.

Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe the take-down was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification containing all six elements listed above plus:

7. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
8. Your consent to the jurisdiction of the relevant federal district court (US filers) or your country's competent court, and that you will accept service of process from the original notifier.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

Repeat infringers

In accordance with §512(i), CVE Tools maintains a policy of deactivating, in appropriate circumstances, aggregation of any source that is the subject of repeat valid take-down notices.

False claims

Section 512(f) of the DMCA imposes liability on persons who knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing. We may seek damages, including costs and attorney fees, against parties who file abusive notices.

Privacy

DMCA notices we receive are kept confidential and shared only with the named party and our counsel. Personal data is processed under our Privacy Policy.
