I def agree with the openess tenor of your reply. People and companies (since companies technically "are" people) need to stop valuing pride over security and safety and all the good stuff of life. Like, just fix the damn cancer, stop trying to hide it and cut off the progrssively more necrotic limbs to save face.
We don't disagree on anything, I was perhaps inelegant and non-specific in my invective.
This wording is some legal loophole bullshit.
I have tried to word something that disagrees with this for 30m. I can't figure it out.
This is bullshit.
But this "company is person" tries to re-humanise corporations. I think. Or something.
Have some ranting....
A company is a group of people working in the interest of themselves.
A person is generally working in the interest of themselves.
A group of people always has more power than a single person, and thus should be held to a higher standard.
It seems like Google is taking this seriously... now (assigning a 10.0. The next highest is an 8.8 for $15k). But it seems like the cve is still assigned to chrome, as opposed to libwebp (where the actual vulnerability is)
And while I appreciate the publication - the fact its a 0-day publication (as opposed to "we patched this 6 months ago") means Google hasn't taken it seriously previously (or it's be found exploited in the wild)
