@octonion@tech.lgbt if you're gonna put a vuln in you're gonna want to make something that's remote and reliable. It's one of those two. You could also probably go a lot faster than 6 years and 2 api changes.
Those API changes weren't just some random person. That's a lot of decision making by a lot of players. There are probably backdoors. We may well find them given how much money is being dumped into finding vulns to prove AI works. (Which... Could have found the same vulns with the same money if anyone had ever wanted to, but anyway...)
It would be pretty hard to believe this one is intentional. I would not be surprised to find intentional backdoors. This is not one.

@Hex@kolektiva.social "6 years and 2 api changes" Do you have an estimate of when the copy-fail vulnerability could have earliest been used to root a machine? It's possible others found this before, but chose not to disclose it to the public. @octonion@tech.lgbt
