CVE Unmoored: Implications of the Removal of the Technology Requirement
summary
Rule change removes the no technology requirement so CVE assignment expands from software to cloud services, websites, CI/CD pipelines and some hardware cases; a CDN buffer overflow and a package-with-typo supply-chain mistake both get CVEs, CI/CD secret leaks are treated as eligible (GitHub security lab found many pre-change), deep‑fake bypasses and radio jamming often do not, tamper‑proof seals get CVEs only if the product claims protection, and there is worry about MITRE flooding and the need for filtering tags like solely hosted service.
