I have a related question.  What is the review process for submitted
plugins?  For instance what kind of verification process is there that
validates that a plugin that has been associated with a CVE number is
actually been correctly assigned to that CVE number?  I think I have seen
some discrepancies between vendors.  For instance, two different scanners
that are checking the same exact vulnerability have assigned it to different
CVEs.

What could possibly go wrong?
