As far as I know, Embedi and not SemiAccurate found and reported the issue.

> An authentication bypass vulnerability, which will be later known as CVE-2017-5689, was originally discovered in mid-February of 2017 while doing side-research on the internals of Intel ME firmware. The first objects of interest were network services and protocols.
