LPE is in the title. And you sound like someone who doesn't know what that stands for.

This also comes with a good public write-up on github (not some monetized fancy domain), with an explanation why it went public early, which wasn't their fault.

There is a lot of intelligence insulting going on in the security theater industry, which is something I talked about here more than once, despite not being exactly a prolific commentator. But unfortunately for you, this particular case is one of the least offensive.
