MacOS High Sierra “root” vulnerability: user reported 2 weeks ago on Apple board (opens in new tab)

The funniest part about all of this is Apple's support twitter account; you can see some social media team is copy-pasting their "Hey no problem, let's just talk about it privately" message faster than I ever thought possible.

Kinda funny that the user viewed it as merely a solution to another user's account problems, rather than a gaping security hole.

and some people are yelling at the guy for not "responsibly" disclosing it!
