Time from exploit to fix in production: < 1h. On a Sunday morning.

I'd buy Github stock if I could.

It doesn't hurt that the vulnerability was already discussed in a bug report by the 'attacker.' I'd imagine it would have taken a longer time had they needed to track down how exactly this happened, though I guess I'm making an assumption on what their logging/auditing/reporting is like.

Right, I'm kind of baffled by the posters on the bug report calling this a "0-day" exploit.

At the very least you'd probably be getting it on the cheap at that point.
