    SECURITY.txt: Drop "exploitable" in reference to hardening issues · e9f2c6d2
    Siddhesh Poyarekar authored
    
    The "exploitable vulnerability" may lead to a misunderstanding that
    missed hardening issues are considered vulnerabilities, just that
    they're not exploitable.  This is not true, since while hardening bugs
    may be security-relevant, the absence of hardening does not make a
    program any more vulnerable to exploits than without.
    
    Drop the "exploitable" word to make it clear that missed hardening is
    not considered a vulnerability.
