I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. But I imagine it wouldn't be hard to find some kind of vague basis to sue someone who intentionally causes you harm. Quick Googling suggests business torts are a thing; maybe there's more beyond that: https://www.findlaw.com/smallbusiness/business-laws-and-regu...
And if one has accepted a license agreement to use the product, there's often breach of contract available as a possible basis too.
Are you saying no one has ever been sued over publishing vulnerabilities in competitors' products?
