As a national CERT we are indeed interested in this feature.
The TC needs to decide if that is in scope for CSAF 2.1.
Thomas Schmidt proposed a motion, as detailed in this OASIS mailing list archive, to add a party multiplier
to CSAF v2.1. Omar Santos seconded the motion.
I personally would prefer the wording republisher
since "multiplier" implies the artifact is replicated into multiple (different) copies and re-distributed. Otherwise, lgtm!
@mprpic: is that a comment or an objection (regarding motion https://groups.oasis-open.org/discussion/motion-580)?

Personally, I prefer multiplier
as it is closer to the multiplicator and describes IMHO clearly that the goal is to bring it to more people/groups / provide it to a wider (or also other) community. (Please, remember - I'm not a native speaker - so I trust those who are.)
And yes, that might involve multiple copies that might differ in the information (e.g. the E-ISAC might add different information than the Water-ISAC).
@tschmidtb51 It's just a comment, I'm fine with either. I was just voicing my preference but if everyone else is good with multiplier
then so be it :-)
The motion to add a new party "multiplier" as suggested in https://github.com/oasis-tcs/csaf/issues/580 to CSAF 2.1 has passed. No objection was received and the motion automatically passed on 2024-04-03 20:00 UTC.
The motion and results are available at: https://groups.oasis-open.org/discussion/motion-580
There is a use case where an ISAC / National CERT / ... could act as multiplier: Taking the original CSAF document (adding information relevant to the context) and republishing the information. Currently, those parties use the
other
status. We should create a separate valuemultiplier
(orrepublisher
) for them.
