Cold Outreach Draft (post-disclosure)
Subject: CWE-407 across 66 open source tools — public whitepaper
Hello,
We recently completed coordinated disclosure of CWE-407 (Inefficient Algorithmic
Complexity) across 66 open source projects — compilers, ORMs, web frameworks, game
engines, routing daemons, and infrastructure tools.
157 sites patched. The root cause is the same in every case: a list where a set belongs,
inside a graph traversal loop. One patch type, 52 ecosystems, speedups from 15x to 300x.
One site (Minecraft DependencySorter) is exponential — StackOverflow at depth 16.
Full whitepaper and per-project briefs: https://undefect.com
