The material in the CERT® Guide to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure inherits from 29 years of analyzing vulnerabilities and navigating vulnerability disclosure issues at the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC). While a few of us may be the proximate authors of the words you are reading, many of the ideas these words represent have been bouncing around at CERT for years in one brain or another. We’d like to acknowledge those who contributed their part to this endeavor, whether knowingly or not:
