CVEs and Good Corporate Citizenship
Blog post from Fastly
Fastly argues that coordinated vulnerability disclosure embargoes are essential for allowing vendors and customers to prepare patches and defenses before technical details can be inferred by attackers. Using the PHP2Shell incident as context, it contends that prematurely deploying visible patches or network-wide mitigation rules can effectively reveal a vulnerability by enabling observers to identify blocked requests, reverse-engineer flaws, and seek unprotected paths. The company criticizes early blanket mitigations as undermining shared disclosure agreements and exposing organizations that have not yet received fixes or notifications. Fastly says responsible providers should coordinate releases, respect agreed timelines, and prioritize the broader internet ecosystem over competitive recognition. It also emphasizes that customers should retain control over mitigation decisions, with options tailored to their testing practices, production conditions, traffic demands, and risk tolerance, while providers supply information, tools, and support rather than imposing a single response.
