Xiao, Alexander,
I think the ball is on the CNA: Hackerone side to get it published to
MITRE, so
that they can show it up on their page.
CNAs are provided with weekly reports by the root CNA: MITRE, which lists
Reserved But Public "RBP" CVEs owned by that CNA, irrespective of whether
the
CVE was assigned on distros list or elsewhere. That closes the reminder
loop.
There's no pull request for CVE-2020-8177 at
https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelist/pulls
We cannot determine if they used the alternative, web form:
https://cveform.mitre.org/
You may want to reach Hackerone from the CNA contacts
<https://cve.mitre.org/cve/request_id.html#cna_participants>, for this
exception of delay.
Kind regards
