Many exploits and vulnerabilities are not relevant within the scope the software is typically deployed, so remain unfixed for a long time, even if they are rated high severity.
Thank you! While that does allay most security concerns, it does beg the question how useful such a vulnerability tracker is if it doesn't actually show any relevant vulnerabilies and you constantly have to second-guess what it says. Warning signs that aren't actually warnings because it's "just a false alarm" quickly teach personell to not take warnings seriously - unti, onel day, it's not a false alarm...
I don't know if I agree. I get it, but it's kind of important that people know that if they do something weird with a piece of software, that it might expose them to remote code execution or root shell exploits. It certainly does make you numb to the word "critical", but I don't have a solution to that.
