I run `pkg audit -F` daily from periodic; not the stock script for this purpose but my own close adaptation. I can post the whole script but it should not be necessary for this discussion. Lately I found that the reference URL given for each newly found vulnerability is almost never operative. Example today: ... expat-2.7.5 is vulnerable: Vulnerability found in Expat CVE: CVE-2026-45186 WWW: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/bacc1417-4d82-11f1-87f3-18dbf25a98c6.html and browsing to the URL just gives me a "404". I don't understand this. I could understand if there was a delay between finding the vulnerability and putting the webpage up; but in that case, would it not be better to not include the URL at all until it is actually good to access? -- Ian
