I am conflicted on the one hand its a great thing we know about the exploit. The problem is, now everyone knows about it, seems like they've documented exactly how to do it for anyone who didn't already know how...
That’s how it goes with all security vulnerabilities. IMHO sunlight is the best disinfectant for stuff like this. But yeah, it can cause some chaos.
Better to have it out in the open then being used by sneaky nefarious types without anyone else knowing imo
