Bitcoin dev denies adding inscriptions to National Vulnerability Database

Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr said he played no part in flagging Bitcoin inscriptions as a cybersecurity threat with the NVD, as the listing received a “5.3 Medium” severity score.

Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr has denied playing any part in adding Bitcoin inscriptions as a cybersecurity risk on the United States National Vulnerability Database’s (NVD) Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) list.
