  • Why is it that security guys always think their issues are more important than any other issues?

    Like well done you, you ran an automated tool over the codebase and it picked up some outdated dependencies.

    We cant just update these dependencies because the newer versions have breaking changes and we already have a backlog of 32767 issues to deal with.

    It’s not security debt, it’s just general technical debt.

    Why is the issue that is only exploitable in a contorted scenario where the user has broken out of a VM and gained root on the hypervisor more important than the issue preventing our largest customer from tripling their volume on our platform?

    Not to mention the joke that’s been made of the CVE system due to resume padding by the security industry…
