Re:GitHub’s database of security advisories is now open source by chews on Saturday February 26, 2022 @03:30PM (#30481625)
I don’t see very many cons with more information.

The world is safer with this info in the public domain, will there be new exploits based on additional info? Sure, but that will get mitigated.

Software, like law or medicine is a practice, meaning we aren’t experts... we’re just learning better ways to do things.

This just opens the world to formal verification... for goodness sakes we’re just getting to fully reproducible deterministic software builds.
