They will think that because you published a security vulnerability, your
project has a bigger problem of insecurity. As if not all actively developed
projects get these problems, either open or proprietary.

## Learn

Every security incident is a chance to learn. Mistakes are for learning. Why
did this error slip through and cause this problem? What code pattern can we
detect or prohibit to prevent this or similar mistakes to happen again?

This is hard. In my experience, most security problems feel like one-offs and
rare circumstances that happened because of strange changes and your own
stupidity. Seeing patterns and adjusting ways of working to prevent future
flaws is difficult work but should always be attempted, to make the most out
of every CVE.
