• A CVE number is reserved but the vulnerability is later determined to be invalid
• The vulnerability is a duplicate of an existing CVE
• The requester never provides the necessary information to complete the CVE assignment
• The candidate number expires without being associated with a real security issue

Organizations should remove this CVE from any vulnerability tracking systems and disregard any references to it in security tooling.
