Description
This entry describes research from the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) focused on developing a method to categorize vulnerabilities as 'forgivable' or 'unforgivable. ' The goal is to eliminate certain classes of vulnerabilities and simplify the implementation of top-level mitigations. It is not a specific vulnerability or exploit but rather a conceptual framework or methodology aimed at improving vulnerability management and mitigation strategies.
