Vulnerability Life Cycle and Vulnerability Disclosures
Vulnerability Life Cycle diagram shows possible states of the #vulnerability. In a previous post I suggested to treat vulnerabilities as bugs. Every known #vulnerability, as same as every #bug, was implemented by some software developer at some moment of time and was fixed at some moment of time later. What happens between this two events?
Right after the #vulnerability was implemented in the code by some developer ( creation ) nobody knows about it. Well, of course, if it was done unintentionally. By the way, making backdoors look like an ordinary vulnerabilities it’s a smart way to do such things. 😉 But let’s say it #WAS done unintentionally.
Time passed and some researcher found ( discovery ) this #vulnerability and described it somehow. What’s next? It depends on who was that researcher.
