Re: CVE for hosted services

This is a one-off piece of **** consumer product, not software that is
installed, offered as a service or used anywhere else.  Give it an
incident or advisory ID, or describe it as an anti-pattern because
developers of similar products make similar mistakes.  However, I fail
to see the relevance to the CVE.  If all these products from different
manufacturers were vulnerable due to a software-as-a-service offering,
common to many, I would be interested.

Please don't make the CVE into an incident or advisory database just
because an ID would be handy.
