Just call it CVE-2026-111497. More accurate and much easier to remember and to talk about with your boss.

I can maybe remember CVE-2026. But there is no way I can remember 6 random digits.

  • Yeah, because the six number chunk is near the limit of recall. Don't remember CVE-2026 since the year and CVE can be reconstructed from time memory. You know it came up this year. Remember that vuln 111-497 (as two chunks) came out this year, and remembering two short chunks is easier.
