It bothers me that the test for this vulnerability is a link to some random repo online with arbitrary code and no one is batting an eye.

At least it presents code instead of "here's sooperhax.exe, just run it"

Also @iopq@lemmy.world linked the explanation in the repo : https://github.com/V4bel/dirtyfrag/blob/master/assets/write-up.md

Admittedly I just gave it a quick scan for now though.
