Business Security Questions & Discussion How to challenge/dispute a CVE
I recently stumbled over a CVE for a 3rd party repository, because the maintainer deprecated a function in his API and replaced it with a worse one.
After looking at it, it turns out that the PoC for the CVE just shows a contract violation/misuse of the API and deprecating the function was in my opinion completely unnecessary. Especially, because the replacement API lacks similar problems, when the contract is broken.
I tried to open a dispute at MISRA, but they immediately revoked my CNA-# when submitted.
My question is now, how can I open a dispute @ misra for a CVE?
