in my defense, my team is always trying to be mr. achiever and drop the latest vulnerability. I got a glimpse of this one and got excited since I hadn’t heard of this “new named threat”.
when I tried reading further to prepare my draft… the reach and exposure of this vulnerability became clear.
also, to mitigate this, we’d have to hotpatch layer 8.
