Defenders still triage vulnerabilities one CVE at a time, while increasingly automated attackers combine them at machine speed. Omenwave models the plausible pathways by which this CVE could be chained with others — surfacing them for research and awareness, with evidence for each step.
The source lands the attacker on the host (code execution or an established foothold), which satisfies the destination's requirement for local access.
