Stands alone with its own profile — acquired by Google (since 2022). Related, but credited in its own right (soft link, not a rollup).

Each dimension is a count of the listed records where this contributor did that job. A CNA row is fix only when the affected product is the assigner’s own; registries, coordinators, platforms, intel and research houses read as catalog, never fix. Exploit counts records where this contributor is credited as author of a public exploit / detection template in a linked catalog — we link the catalog, never host a payload.

Coverage & confidence

— what this profile claims, and what it does not

Established (cited)

  • Cited in 60 known-exploited records — the list below; every one links to its public source.
  • Catalogued 2 CVE record(s) as the CNA assigner (from CVE.org).
  • Credited as the finder/reporter on 10 record(s) (CVE.org credits).
  • Coverage gaps — stated, not hidden

  • This profile is an aggregation: it asserts only what the listed records already cite — no new external claim about the contributor is made.
  • The TYPE badge and the narrative-stage mapping are editorial (our call), labeled as such, not a sourced fact.
