Save and compare snapshots

Keep a CVE list and compare public observations on a later visit. You need a completed analysis of your own list.

Save a baseline

1. Review the analysis coverage and feed dates.
2. Select Download snapshot.
3. Save the JSON file in an appropriate private location.

The snapshot includes all submitted CVE IDs, including missing and rejected records. It excludes raw scanner text and downloaded descriptions.

Compare a saved list

1. Open Your CVEs and select Load snapshot.
2. Choose the Pulse JSON snapshot.
3. Wait for the refreshed public index and analysis.
4. Read Changes since your saved snapshot.
5. Select Review changes to inspect the differences.

You can edit the restored list and analyse it again to compare membership changes. Removing a CVE from a list does not mean it was remediated.

Federal due dates are comparable only when both snapshots included them. Model changes and snapshots newer than the current feeds need separate interpretation. A same-day reload can show no change.

An imported snapshot is user-supplied information, not authenticated historical evidence. If it is rejected, read the validation error and use an original Pulse snapshot. See snapshot fields and limits.
