AddProduct_Complete

 

Select the UNSPCSC categorization of the product using the Change... button located behind the CATEGORIZATION (UNSPSC) and selecting the proper category.

 

Furthermore add all missing information that are known about the product.

 

Enter at least the main function of the software using the FUNCTIONS field (it is possible to add multiple functions). For software optimization projects it is very important to know the main functionality of a software. Therefore, this should be defined on the product level in order to allow comparisons of products that deliver similar functionalities.

 

Add all information that are known about the product and click on the Identification tab to continue.

 

Add the COMMON PLATFORM ENUMERATION (CPE) of the product. The CPE for a product can be found on the CVE Details homepage. Go to the page and search for the product.

 

CVE_Details_Search

 

Search for the vulnerabilities of the product and go to the Security Vulnerabilities page. There the product id can be found in the URL.

 

CVE_Details_URL

 

Enter the number, and only the number, into the COMMON PLATFORM ENUMERATION field. For example, if the URL states product_id-16324 the entry is 16324.

 

When all known information have been added to the product, click on the Save changes button to create the new product.
