Hi,

I think that we should not be mixing the vulnerability
and risk together. Vulnerability is the weakness of a
design or system to be exploited. The risk is loss in
case it happens...

Therefore, CVE is all refering to Vulnerability. If
you put up a MSQL Server in a standalone machine
without any LAN connection. Is this a risk ?
