    I'm not involved in Debian security efforts, and I don't know if that
    info will come back.
    But if you are looking for automated info, I recommend going directly to
    the security tracker itself
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/
    Or better yet its source data at https://salsa.debian.org/security-tracker-team/security-tracker/

    Hello,

    We are using your CVE cross references list to understand impact of vulnerabilities across Debian Security advisories, however all of
    the information has disappeared from the following page:

    https://www.debian.org/security/crossreferences

    Can you please advise if this will be restored and is this the best
    place for us to automatically pull this information?

    Thomas, any idea what might be causing this?

    Running the generator script locally in the right directory does
    produce some data. Could this be the proper fix?
