  Before: The NVD record says HKUDS Vibe-Trading from 0.1.0 before 0.1.7 lets attackers prompt the agent to read server files, including /etc/shadow, API keys in /proc/self/environ and /root credentials, because read_document lacks sandbox checks.

  After: The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) record says HKUDS Vibe-Trading from 0.1.0 before 0.1.7 lets attackers prompt the agent to read server files, including /etc/shadow, API keys in /proc/self/environ and /root credentials, through read_document, which lacks sandbox checks, or tools gated by safe_user_path.

What a signal is. A signal records what a primary record says; it assigns no fault. It is lighter than a case: one dated item from one record, tagged with the world, sector and controls it touches. It becomes a case when it meets the bar for one.
