Can you provide some details about what's wrong with it? (Not a security person, no idea how to evaluate such a claim)

I'm not sure i would have either. this is not not a security bug. this is pure negligence and doesn't deserve the courtesy IMHO.

Why are you dismissive of security-related issues?

Is this really a selling point after the recent security issues?

You're right. I've trolled a little. But still, this brings security issues with it.

Doesn't seem that hard to fix. I'm surprised they don't consider it a security-type issue.

Hasn't this happened before? Clearly they have security issues abound.

Did you try to explain why this is a serious security issue?
