Is that not a problem with how people are using CVEs, scoring them and attaching value to them rather than whether a CVE should be assigned itself. A CVE is simply a number and some data on a vulnerability so that the community knows they a

Would it even be possible to enumerate all edge cases and test all the permutations of them in non-trivial codebases or interconnected systems? How do you know when you have all of the edge cases? With fuzzing you can randomly generate bad

Sometimes devs rely on Chrome specific quirks, or are shipping broken apps that Chrome manages to make the correct guesses for it to be functional. Many see 'it works on Chrome and mobile Safari' as 'it works' and they c
