The user should've properly disclosed his troubleshooting tips with Apple first. EDIT: /s

  The post doesn't read like the user thought the tips constituted any type of security issue. They might have thought it was expected, but not well known, behavior.

    It's really frightening knowing that this was probably well known to other players for months. High Sierra went gold on September 25. Beta 1 came out in June, I think.

    Yeah, as another person pointed out in this thread, this post really puts a kink in the whole "proper security channels" argument. The macOS vulnerability was apparently a known thing, POSTED VISIBLY on Apple's own forums, and it reads as if the user got this "helpful tip" from somewhere else. This is pretty nuts.

  Apple needs to fix their bounty program first. The blame goes to Apple, no one else. Stop shooting messagers. What kind of society do we live in where people disclosing wrong doings and crimes are the ones going to jail while the others get away with it.

  What if the user has no idea that this is a bug and it was not a feature? In the other thread tons of fanboys attacked the guy that shared this on twitter, turns out now that the issue was already known so at least now people that administrate Mac machines can take action and apply the workarounds.
