Overview
ISO/IEC 20153:2025 - "Information technology - OASIS Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF) v2.0 Specification" - is the first edition of an international standard that adopts the OASIS CSAF v2.0 specification as an ISO/IEC standard. Prepared by the OASIS CSAF Technical Committee and adopted through the JTC 1 PAS procedure, this document defines a standardized approach for representing and exchanging security advisories. It enables consistent, interoperable advisory information to support automated processing and coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
Keywords: ISO/IEC 20153:2025, CSAF v2.0, Common Security Advisory Framework, security advisories, vulnerability management, advisory automation.
Key Topics and Requirements
While the full text contains the normative details, ISO/IEC 20153:2025 focuses on core technical themes typical of a CSAF specification:
- Structured advisory representation: Defines a standardized, machine‑readable representation for security advisories and related metadata to reduce ambiguity in advisory consumption.
- Versioning and lifecycle: Addresses advisory version control, publication dates, and the advisory lifecycle so recipients can track updates and revisions.
- Interoperability: Promotes consistent semantics and data models to enable automated ingestion by tools, vulnerability management systems, and CERT/CSIRT workflows.
- Roles and responsibilities: Clarifies actor types (publishers, consumers, aggregators) and expectations for advisory publication and distribution.
- Distribution and aggregation: Covers patterns for sharing advisories across channels and integrating advisories from multiple vendors or repositories.
- Security and integrity considerations: Encourages practices to ensure authenticity, integrity and traceability of published advisories.
Note: For prescriptive normative text (schemas, field names, allowed values), consult the official ISO/IEC 20153:2025 publication.
Practical Applications and Users
ISO/IEC 20153:2025 is useful for organizations that publish, consume, aggregate or automate security advisories:
- Product vendors and software maintainers publishing vulnerability advisories.
- CERTs, CSIRTs and national authorities coordinating disclosures.
- Security operations teams and vulnerability management platforms ingesting advisories for triage and remediation workflows.
- Threat intelligence providers and supply‑chain security programs aggregating advisory feeds.
- DevOps and engineering teams integrating advisory data into patch management and CI/CD pipelines.
Benefits include faster, less error‑prone advisory processing, improved automation of remediation workflows, and better cross‑industry coordination on vulnerability disclosures.
Related Standards (if applicable)
CSAF implementations are commonly integrated with vulnerability naming and scoring systems and threat‑intel formats, for example:
- CVE (identifiers)
- CVSS (scoring)
- CPE (product identification)
- STIX/TAXII (threat intelligence exchange)
For implementation details, schema references, and interoperability guidance, obtain the official ISO/IEC 20153:2025 document from ISO or your national standards body.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members
of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of
document should be noted (see www.iso.org/directives or www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs).
ISO and IEC draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of
(a) patent(s). ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO and IEC had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database
available at www.iso.org/patents and https://patents.iec.ch. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
