OWASP VXDF (Validated Exploitable Data Flow) Format
OWASP VXDF (Validated Exploitable Data Flow) Format - An OWASP incubator project
The first standardized format for reporting validated exploitable vulnerabilities with proof
OWASP VXDF (Validated Exploitable Data Flow) is a revolutionary approach to vulnerability reporting that focuses on confirmed exploitable code vulnerabilities with mandatory validation evidence. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners that generate noise, VXDF provides actionable intelligence that security teams can trust.
Security teams are drowning in vulnerability alerts from scanning tools (SAST, DAST, SCA). The overwhelming majority are false positives or theoretical vulnerabilities with no practical exploit path, resulting in:
š Evidence-Based
Every vulnerability includes concrete proof of exploitability - no more guessing if threats are real
āļø Machine-Readable
JSON format enables seamless automation in security tools and CI/CD pipelines
šÆ Actionable Intelligence
Clear exploitation paths and concrete proof help teams prioritize effectively
š Standards-Aligned
Compatible with SARIF, SPDX, and other security frameworks
Every vulnerability includes concrete proof of exploitability - no more guessing if threats are real
JSON format enables seamless automation in security tools and CI/CD pipelines
Clear exploitation paths and concrete proof help teams prioritize effectively
