No one is listing the vast number of possible symptoms a security vulnerability could be causing.

Indeed nobody does that, because it would just be pointless, it doesn't expose the real issue. Is a security vulnerability a symptom, or the real issue though? Doesn't it depends on the purpose of the code containing the bug?
