The vulnerability lifecycle and responsible disclosure

A vulnerability goes through different stages during its lifetime, from being introduced in the code, if it is a software vulnerability until it has been patched with a non-vulnerable version. Due to the availability of exploits and public information about vulnerabilities, it is important to patch the software as soon as possible. In some cases, it can be just a matter of hours before a severe vulnerability is exploited on a wide scale. This is particularly true for open-source vulnerabilities where many systems are using the exact same software with the same vulnerability.

In this fourth part, we will discuss the different stages it goes through during the lifecycle. We will also discuss how people can help reduce the exploitability of vulnerabilities through responsible disclosure and how this affects the vulnerability lifecycle.
