Flock has been authorised by CISA to assign CVE IDs to vulnerabilities in its own products, enabling faster and coordinated handling of security issues despite ongoing privacy concerns and scrutiny over law enforcement use.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face increased pressure to verify disclosed vulnerabilities independently as Flock’s new authority raises conflict-of-interest risks. This change forces you to strengthen your vulnerability due diligence or risk adopting incomplete or downplayed security data.
