Dude, the issue was found purely by coincidence, it very nearly made it through
Yes, but it didn’t. Has it made it through on closed software? Who knows?
My takeaway is more like: This one almost made it through and was caught by accident. How much more backdoors actually were not caught and made it through? I would bet some money on it being more than 0 :(
Yes, probabky, but also might be possible to now find.
