BLASTPASS is an ok exploit name, but it is kinda specific. People might think it was only about bypassing BlastDoor on iPhones. A better name might have been something like "WebPwn", which would have made it much more clear that it was a vulnerability in the image format.

WebPwn is a great name and I almost want a direct RCE in WebP just so it can get that name
Blastpass is the exploit that broke open Blastdoor. The webp exploit is just a neat privilege escalation after you blastdoor'd the target.
"BLASTPASS" made me initially think it was the exploit used to breach LastPass.
