How do you figure? The value of the report is, ethics aside, the same as the value of exploiting it. Doesn’t matter if I can conceive of it, it matters if I can exploit it.
Supply and demand has to be considered. The more parties aware of the vulnerability, the more attractive sellers (reporters) have to make their ask to the buyer (defender).
Not following that. The report is the upstream resource the exploit needs. The value of iron ore is definitely not the value of the steel made with it. Or maybe I misunderstood your view?
