 If no KCSA is warranted and there is no benefit to a KCSN then the KCSA Issue will be set to *Won't Fix* or *Invalid* (depending on the specific situation) and the bug state switched from *Private Security* to *Public*, optionally adding the *security* bug tag if the report concerns a potential security hardening opportunity.
