Vulnonym: Stop the Naming Madness!

Spectre. Meltdown. Dirty Cow. Heartbleed.All of these are vulnerabilities that were named by humans, sometimes for maximum impact factor or marketing. Consequently, not every named vulnerability is a severe vulnerability despite what some researchers wanting you to think! Sensational names are often the tool of the discoverers to create more visibility for their work. This is a current challenge problem for the CERT/CC. We hope to reduce any fear, uncertainty, and doubt for vendors, researchers, and the general public.Software vulnerabilities are currently categorized by number, primarily the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID, which makes it very easy for computer analysis and storage….
