N-gated Hacker News🚨Breaking news: The CVE funding crisis was averted, proving once again that procrastination is the true hero of our time. Apparently, the key to cybersecurity is waiting until the last minute to scrape together spare change from CISA’s couch cushions. 🎉But hey, no worries, we'll panic again in 11 months when this temporary fix expires! 🕰️

Can we trust CVE?
If you are a security nerd, and even if you’re not, you probably heard about the epic CVE mess that happened. It’s a very long story and was covered in many places, but the TL;DR was the funding for CVE fell through, panic ensued, then CISA found some temporary funds to keep the lights, so everything is fine and we can all go back to normal. Well, some of us won’t go back to normal because the CISA funding is good for 11 months. Will there be more funding in 11 months? Will an asteroid destroy the Earth in 2032? Will society still exists at Christmas? Nobody really knows. Well that asteroid one, we sort of know that. We’ll be fine. Yay science!
