alt Hacker NewsDamn, dunno why I've always assumed that if something gets a CVE, then some authority has reproduced and verified it.
Shouldn't it be CNA's job? Why would anything get a number if it hadn't been verified?

It's really just a number allocation and that's all. You can get a number. That doesn't mean the number refers to something useful.
The current system is radically overwhelmed and has been seeing cuts over the last few years.

No, the system puts a lot of trust into the submitter.
