    That’s exactly the thing. They call themselves PoCs, but most of the time the exploit chain that they “prove” relies on some extremely unrealistic condition, like the intruder already having elevated privileges. Or it’s just completely made up and the PoC only “works” because the AI changed the source code. It’s incredibly unreliable.

      I think you’re speaking in general and not about this specific case. This is an unauthenticated remote code exploit. All that needs to happen is your website accepts a brotli from a client or from an external api and tries to read it.

      This is a bad one. Broke my no deploys on Friday rule for it.
