Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr refuses to be behind adding Inscriptions to the vulnerability list of the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).
The debate over Inscriptions was started when Dashjr shared a post on December 6 saying that Inscriptions are an exploit of a vulnerability and spamming the Bitcoin network.
Inscriptions are now added to the U.S. national database of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) list as a vulnerability after Dashjr’s post claiming Inscriptions a bug. As a national database of threats, the CVE list can be updated by developers who find potential vulnerabilities.
On December 11, the National Vulnerability Database updated Inscriptions’ listing, giving it a score of 5.3 Medium, which refers to a low-risk vulnerability. Dashjr, however, says that this score is understating its impact on Bitcoin and could affect the network in the long term.
Bitcoin has seen remarkable network congestion over the past few months as its ecosystem has been introduced with technical innovations such as BRC-20 tokens and Inscriptions.
Dashjr claimed that the increased transactions are spamming the Bitcoin network as miners are prioritizing high-fee transactions of Inscriptions and raw-bitcoin transfers.
