The article introduces the concept of 'brocards'—concise aphorisms—for efficient vulnerability triage in open source security, inspired by legal principles. It provides practical examples like dismissing reports without threat models or unrealistic exploit scenarios. This approach helps filter low-quality submissions and streamline security assessment workflows.
Background
Vulnerability triage involves sorting and prioritizing security reports in software projects, often plagued by low-quality submissions. Brocards offer heuristic rules to accelerate this process.
