How Hackers Use Unlisted Vulns You’ll Never Hear About

The discussion centered around the misconceptions regarding which vulnerabilities receive Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and the criteria for their inclusion. The presenter misrepresented the categorization process, notably underestimating the range of vulnerabilities that should be recognized. This reflects the ongoing debate within the cybersecurity community about how CVEs are assigned and the importance of accurate information in this area.

Keypoints :

  • Presentations highlighted the topic of EPSS and CVE assignment criteria.
  • The speaker critiqued the wrong explanations given by the presenter regarding CVE identification.
  • Not all vulnerabilities receive a CVE; only a subset of critical vulnerabilities does.
  • There is confusion in the cybersecurity community about the criteria for CVE allocations.
  • Accurate understanding of which vulnerabilities get CVEs is essential for effective security measures.
