Couple of things.

You opened up (spammed) VulDB for the same vulnerability (on a single page /cables/) the link between ports (power port, interfaces, front ports, rear ports, power outlets, console cables, console ports, power feeds, circuits, etc) is incorrectly sanitized. In the same vein, both /add and /edit are the same form, just with data pre-filled or missing. This is at best 1 vulnerability, not 17+ since the actual issue can only be presented in 1 area.

You did not follow the proper vulnerability disclosure process (opening a vulnerability report on github) and as such did not read our security.md file.
