OK. I'll be that guy. Is there nobody who is going to talk about Larry Cashdollar, the person who discovered this vulnerability and first reported it?
I'm honestly not sure how I'd be more impressed; if you told me this man actually uses this as his real name in his daily life, or by finding out that this is actually his birth name.
- hlieberman 8y agoHe's a former co-worker of mine, and is an awesome dude in many ways. His name really is Larry Cashdollar, born and raised. Sometimes I wrote his name as 'Larry $$' though.
- subcosmos 8y agoIt's almost like he had JQuery selectors deep within his DNA! He was BORN to find this bug. The prophecy is true!
- blueimp 8y agoLarry was also super helpful in identifying the underlying issue and very polite in his emails. Would definitely write another security vulnerability into my code again if I knew that Larry would report it. ;)

Looking up Wikipedia, there is Cindy Cashdollar (a musician), and a few others: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Cashdollar+-%22Cindy+Cashdollar%22&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Cashdollar+-%22C...
