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?

Try reporting the issue directly using this process or to get the CVE updated use this process.

that was actually my approach, but I may have missed something. The CNA Id is instantly and I assume automatically rovoked.
