Decided by Nothing to build a rule from yet: no published exploit, no CISA record of exploitation and no source-level change to read

That is a statement about the evidence, not about the defect — it does not mean the vulnerability is unimportant or unreachable, only that neither of the two things VRT can act on exists.
