Two OWASP working-group members compared the expert-consensus ranking against a corpus drawn from CVE, GHSA, OSV, and AIAAIC, with 6,639 labeled against a 20-entry taxonomy. Agreement was weak at Cohen's κ ≈ 0.20, with a 90% interval crossing zero. arXiv The 2026 candidate list resolves it by weighting expert consensus 75% and incident data 25%, which is a defensible choice and also an admission. This is an exploratory analysis by members, not the official OWASP release.
