This is confusing - the reporter claims to have "crafted the exploit" using the info they got from Bard. So the hallucinated info was actionable enough to actually perform the/an exploit, even though the report was closed as bogus?

No, they weren't able to "craft the exploit". The text claims an integer overflow bug in curl_easy_setopt, and provides a code snippet that fixes it. Except the code snippet has a completely different function signature than the real curl_easy_setopt, and doesn't even compile. I doubt this person did any follow through at all, just copy/pasted the output from Bard directly into this bug report.
The thing they're they're reporting is that a CVE leaked and Bard found out about it before public disclosure.

Except that it's false because Bard made it up. There's no real curl exploit involved.

Or lied about crafting an exploit for a potential bug bounty payout
