The result was redirect‎ to Microsoft CryptoAPI with history preserved if a merger is needed. There isn't consensus for one here, but no one is contesting the merge with an argument that the material needs removed from the project-just that it's not suitable as an article.

Per WP:NOTNEWS, the last coverage of this particular security exploit was in 2020 and it has effectively been forgotten since. As it currently stands I do not think it is notable enough for a standalone entry. Sohom (talk) 03:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Microsoft CryptoAPI. Not independently notable, but because this vulnerability made the news, it is WP:DUE to mention it in the article about the software component that contained the vulnerability. Jfire (talk) 22:13, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
