Response to exploited bugs
Not rated. No reviewed zero-days yet.
Fixing privately reported bugs
73 range 61–84rank 12 of 20
Provisional 18 private reports, published on 12 dates. Not enough yet for a firm grade.
What a grade means. B means the vendor met the public norm, such as a first fix within 7 days of the first public report or a private fix within 120 days. Taking half the norm time scores 92, an A. Taking twice the norm time scores 43, a D−. How grades work
Why these grades
Every clock starts at the first public report.
- Response to exploited bugs: not rated. No reviewed exploited zero-days in the last 36 months, so this grade does not apply yet.
- Fixing privately reported bugs: B- (73), provisional. Median 132 days from private report to fix (18 cases, 2 with a vendor fix date). 9 of 18 took longer than ZDI's 120-day deadline. 9 of 18 concern Access Rights Manager.
- 3 of 3 reviewed exploited bugs had a public fix before exploitation was reported. They do not count toward the response grade. For one of them, fixes for every version came later, up to 6 days.
