[Sign-on] Open letter on vulnerability disclosure in the CRA

by Jan Penfrat (EDRi)

Dear EDRis, Thank you for allowing me to cross-post this so everyone has seen it: While the overall work on the Cyber Resilience Act <https://edri.org/our-work/the-cyber-resilience-act-how-to-make-europe-more-…> is going rather well (as compared to other legislative dossiers I assume), one of the problems that still persists: The EP wants to compel manufacturers of connected devices to notify the EU's Agency for Cybersecurity ENISA <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Agency_for_Cybersecurity> about details of unpatched security vulnerabilities. Given EU member states' track record of state-sanctions hacking, we believe it's a bad idea to create government-run databases full of zero-day exploits. I have therefore drafted an open letter to lawmakers working on the CRA <https://cloud.edri.org/index.php/s/aK6BJD2DpTs2JkF> to fix that problem and would like to kindly ask you to *co-sign it individually if you can _by Monday, 12 June at noon_*. Please also let me know should you have any major concerns with the draft letter. Thanks a lot!
