We're sorry.

We've done our best to address the issue, provide the fixes for current versions as well as back-port it up to 3 years for all products running on the platform. In any case we apologise and have learned from this and will improve.

I'm happy with how the issue was addressed. No one can expect perfection from a complicated piece of software such as this. I was glad to have received the email and find the blog post with a thorough list of FAQs.

I'm glad to see proper credit given to Jordan for finding the flaw. Maybe I'm a cynic, but I'm glad that this was an open process and not a one line blog post about a critical security update. Keep up the great work.

It would be interesting to see the lessons learned. I do plain old IntelliJ development without any web stuff at the moment, so it was a surprise to learn that things were being exposed to the web.
