The BRC-20 token headed by $ORDI once again triggered the craze of Bitcoin Inscription last week, but Bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr also publicly criticized : "Inscription is a fraud and an attack on the Bitcoin network." Strong accusations caused the price of ORDI to plummet and skyrocket, and the argument that BRC-20 may disappear in the future has also begun to be discussed.
US National Vulnerability Database Flag Ordinals
Just this past weekend, the U.S. National Vulnerability Database (NVD) marked Bitcoin Inscription Ordinals as a "cybersecurity risk" on December 9, calling people's attention to this security vulnerability.
The official pointed out that the vulnerability is still being analyzed, but mentioned in the description:
Prior to Bitcoin Core 26.0 and Bitcoin Knots 25.1.knots20231115, it was possible to bypass the data carrier size limit by obfuscating the data into code (e.g. using OP_FALSE OP_IF), as used by 2022 and 2023 Inscriptions.
Comments from the founder of Slow Mist
The news that Ordinals was included in the NVD list was forwarded by Luke Dashjr. In this regard, Yu Xian, founder of the blockchain security company SlowMist, wrote earlier: The inscription issue has been assigned a CVE number, which is clearly identified as a vulnerability, but he also added:
CVE numbers are nothing new. Many security teams/individuals can apply for them. We don't pay much attention to this thing...but maybe those involved in the Bitcoin ecosystem will value this. After all, CVE numbers are one of the most well-known vulnerability proofs in the security industry.

At the same time, he said: Having said that, deducting a CVE number from the Bitcoin serial number inscription is really a shady trick... a "vulnerability" label is slapped on it. Although the current status at NVD is: This vulnerability has been received by the NVD and has not been analyzed.
But there is a high probability that this “loophole” label will not be removed.
