@BrodieOnLinux @jenbanim To be clear, the security researcher did not have anything to do with the score of 9.9. He hyped it up to be a bad vulnerability sure (which it was), but it's the 9.9 score that really got people concerned.

He's getting unfairly dogpiled IMO, and it's unfortunate to see you joining in on that.
