disclosed vulnerabilities

Disclosed vulnerabilities are security weaknesses in a computer system or software that have been publicly revealed. When these flaws are disclosed, it means that information about the vulnerabilities is made available to the public, allowing hackers to potentially exploit them. The goal of disclosure can be to alert users and developers so they can fix the issues, but it also temporarily increases risk until patches or updates are applied. Essentially, it’s the formal process of revealing security flaws so they can be addressed before malicious actors take advantage of them.
