My understanding has always been vuXML is for ports / packages and the 
advisories page is for base.

Support for FreeBSD base vulnerabilities was created by Mark Felder 3 years ago https://blog.feld.me/posts/2016/08/monitoring-freebsd-base-system-vulnerabilities-with-pkg-audit/
and the past Security Advisories was published in VUXML.
At this time there is no other automated system to report base system vulnerabilities - are we really in 2019?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Status of FreeBSD vulnerabilities in VUXML database

This Message originated outside of the organization.

What is the official status of FreeBSD Security Advisories and entries in VUXML 
database?
I am asking especially because new FreeBSD base system vulnerabilities are not 
being added to the vuxml database. The last was added 2019-04-23 according to 
https://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/

Why?

VUXML is FreeBSD's own pet so why new SAs are not added there the same day they 
are published as SA on https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories.html?

It makes base-audit periodic useless.

Kind regards
