Application security (AppSec) would not have existed for the past 25 years without the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), the numbering system used for identifying discovered vulnerabilities in software. After the creation and adoption of the system in 1999, major companies such as Microsoft quickly began contributing CVE discoveries, using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) to convey the severity of a flaw.
