Report software vulnerabilities or ICS vulnerabilities

Software vulnerabilities or ICS vulnerabilities are defects that allow an attacker to violate an explicit (or implicit) security policy to achieve some impact (or consequence). In particular, defects that allow intruders to gain increased levels of access or interfere with the normal operation of systems are vulnerabilities. Insecure configurations, design choices, and changing environmental conditions can also cause vulnerabilities.
