It appears that he got the credentials from github, and this was critical for his exploit to work.

If he could find 30+ instances before he just gave up I’m not sure if we can count that as a significant barrier.
And I hope he disclosed it responsibly.
I don't think he disclosed this. Theirs no mention of it in the post.
The fact that he sat on it for months before going back and trying suggests that he didnt disclose the GitHub leaks to the government.
