Eh that one is on you I think. How long did you wait? If we have 5 researchers report the same vulnerability in 30 days we're going to count it as duplicate and still expect to have a full 60-90 days from the first report to deploy a fix.

Waited a couple weeks.

It was pretty low hanging fruit. I was going through an XSS tutorial and used their site for practice. `<script>alert(1)` could be saved into several user fields including Name and would then be executed on every subsequent pageload around the site.

If there was some indication that someone had reported it recently I maybe would have waited longer, but I suspect this bug had been known for months.
