Summary

Vulnerabilities are not inherently dangerous, and their exposure is often a matter of priority. However, unaddressed vulnerabilities can add fragility to an application, making it more vulnerable to exploitation. It's essential to prioritize both exposed and unexposed vulnerabilities to ensure the security of a system. Addressing known but unexposed vulnerabilities promptly allows developers to stay proactive in securing their applications, thereby reducing the risk of potential attacks.
