There are more coincidences that are even less interesting. But even the above should make it clear how unlikely it was that I found this thing.
Just to be clear: I didn't mean that I didn't do good - I did. I mean that we got unreasonably lucky here, and that we can't just bank on that going forward.
@AndresFreundTec That was more than just good - you probably stopped a devastating attack on the whole industry. The open source community owes you a huge debt of gratitude. Had that exploit gotten into the wild it would have been awful. Catching it early was an immense win.
I hope Microsoft recognizes how much of a contribution you made to the entire industry.
