What do NVD and OSV actually tell us about open source vulnerabilities?
NVD is a government database that adds scores to CVE records. OSV tracks which package versions are affected. Neither is a full census. A plain guide.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

A cheat sheet on NVD and OSV: what each covers, how NVD now prioritizes enrichment, how OSV matches versions, and how KEV helps you pick what to fix.
US rule 10 CFR 73.54 protects digital systems for safety, security and emergency functions. Start with assets, maintenance paths and change control.
A vulnerable library in plant software is judged by safety function, not CVSS alone. Inventory digital assets, ask vendors for SBOMs and control change.
Regulators already require cyber programs for plant digital systems. Adding AI agents and robots to maintenance widens the inputs and the tools to control.
At a mine, start with remote access, engineering workstations, vendor maintenance and equipment software. A calm checklist built on NIST and ISA guidance.
Mining sites run software that moves equipment and controls air and water. See how a dependency flaw reaches safety and what to ask suppliers.
AI agents and autonomous machines add software, data paths and decision points to a mine. A calm look at what changes, using CISA, NIST and IEC guidance.
No public dataset gives one clean median fix time per ecosystem. These are the figures that exist, how each was measured, and how to track your own.
