UnverifiedChuvakin defines "vulnerability doomsday" as the simultaneous occurrence of more vulnerabilities, more exploitation, and more incident damage; if the number of vulnerabilities surges but they are not exploited, it is merely an increase in patching workload and does not count as doomsday.75% similarUnverifiedFor a vulnerability to go from disclosure to causing incident losses, it must cross thresholds such as feasibility of the exploitation path, attacker motivation and capability, target exposure, and protective measures; if any link breaks, the threat is greatly diminished.75% similarUnverifiedThe source code lag forces security researchers to rely on binary analysis to assess the effects of patches, increasing the risk of missing vulnerabilities.71% similarUnverifiedThe author predicts more vulnerabilities will be found, because more people are finding them.71% similarUnverifiedResearchers believe that only when vulnerability counts rise thousands of times and intrusion incidents also rise thousands of times (a synchronized jump) can it be called "vulnerability doomsday."70% similar
