Yes, NVD funding cuts and a growing CVE backlog began in late 2023.

May 2024, https://therecord.media/nist-database-backlog-growing-vulnch...

> Moving forward, cybersecurity companies will have to “fill the void” .. NVD said in April [2024] that it is “working to establish a consortium to address challenges in the NVD program and develop improved tools and methods.” .. CISA acknowledged the concerns and outrage of the security community and said it is starting an enrichment effort called “Vulnrichment," which will add much of the information described by Garrity to CVEs.

The second VulnCon event took place last week and no silver bullet has appeared, https://ygreky.com/2025/04/vulncon-2025-impressions/

  Vulnerability enrichment was mentioned in many talks. However, most organizations seem to handle it internally. There doesn’t appear to be momentum toward a shared or open source solution – at least not yet.


That says nothing about a funding cut, see my comment below


Following your comment's reference leads to a claim of NVD needing 300 to 550 million (?!) per year, but only receiving 4 million in funding. If anyone has pre-2024 data on NVD or MITRE CVE funding, that would be helpful, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43701532
