Bitcoin Inscription CVE vulnerability does not mean it is necessary to fix it. Whether to fix it depends on Bitcoin Core's attitude
SlowMist founder Yu Xian stated on social media that the issue of the Bitcoin sequence inscription being assigned a CVE number was originally a controversial issue within the community. However, the controversy was submitted to CVE, a widely influential vulnerability platform, and NVD (which many people say is a US government agency) and other vulnerability platforms also adopted the CVE number. The entire security and even IT industry recognizes these standards. But there is an objective fact: CVE vulnerabilities do not necessarily need to be fixed, especially those with low vulnerability ratings, such as the Bitcoin sequence inscription, which has a score of 5.3 (out of 10) and is a medium-risk vulnerability. If we look at the details, there are several indicators that affect the final score, some of which have a score of 0, and the "impact" indicator is only 1.4 points. In this case, whether it is finally fixed or not depends on the attitude of Bitcoin Core, and whether it is executed after the repair depends on the attitudes of the mining pools and influential individuals.
