I, this last week, had to spend hours dealing with a fake CVE that was opened 2 years ago on an open source dependency of our project for a bug that amounts to "if you have RCE, you can construct a malicious java datatype and call this function on it to trigger a stack overflow". The github thread on the lib is full of the maintainers having to deal with hundreds of people asking them for updates on an obviously fake CVE. Yet the CVE is still up and has not been deleted. And I now get a request from a customer about fixing this vuln in our code their CVE scanner found. The CVE system is broken and its death would be a good riddance.
