Right, but if a country being at war or in a authoritarian regime is a precondition for the vulnerability to pose a threat, it's not really a scenario that would warrant a high scoring in some vulnerability scoring system. For sure it's a weakness and would score higher if the purpose of the technology were military.

But since this is a civilian application and not military, it doesn't seem sensible to rate vulnerabilities according to military use. The intended scope of the application makes a huge difference legally and operationally and should be triaged accordingly.
