This HN post is a link to a disclosure from the security researchers who worked with Dropbox (note: I work for Dropbox).

It is not generally the case that companies disclose quickly-patched vulnerabilities that were reported by white-hat security researchers. Example of a similar vulnerability with a similar response time by another company: https://blog.duosecurity.com/2013/02/bypassing-googles-two-f...

Researchers disclose a while after the vulnerability is patched. This is standard practice.
