      DOGE tech bros 100% know what it is. But they’re also probably the kind of devs that hate fixing issues surfaced by CVE’s in dependencies. Have seen my fair share of these types of ‘engineers’. Same kind of folks who see qa and testing as the enemy.

        They’re script kiddies, they use CVE to figure out which hacking scripts to use to break into servers that haven’t been updated in years.

        I was more implying that if this blows up in the their face, the public statement will be it was a mistake, made from ignorance, to evade responsibility. Sorry if that didn’t come off clearly. Making sure implication gets across online sucks.

      They absolutely know, they want to avoid the accountability of acknowledging and fixing vulnerabilities, which is why they’re trying to kill CVE.
