The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requires manufacturers to report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe security incidents in products with digital elements sold in the EU, but there is significant ambiguity regarding the scope of reporting obligations when a vulnerability cannot realistically be exploited in the manufacturer's implementation.
