Description
Describe the bug
Hello!
We use advisories from https://packages.broadcom.com/photon/photon_cve_metadata/cve_data_photon<ver>.json (where ver we take from the photon_versions.json file).
Yesterday changes occurred in the repository:
- The photon_versions.json file was deleted.
- Instead of a file with advisories for a specific release (for example, cve_data_photon5.0.json), there's a cve folder. The information in these advisories doesn't include:
- release number
- cve_score
Are these expected changes?
If yes, are you planning to somehow enrich these advisories with the data that was "lost"?
Or perhaps you have another source to get CVE lists in machine-readable format.
Thanks in advance for your response!
Regards, Dmitriy
Reproduction steps
- Check
photon_versions.jsonandcve_data_photon<ver>.jsonfiles in https://packages.broadcom.com/photon/photon_cve_metadata.
Expected behavior
The existence of photon_versions.json and cve_data_photon<ver>.json files

Research direction
Compare photon_versions.json and the cve_data_photon.json files referenced in the issue with the current cve folder contents at the packages.broadcom.com URL. Determine whether the changed schema is intentional and whether release numbers, CVE scores, or an alternative machine-readable source are available; done means a maintainer-confirmed source and migration guidance.
