I don't think a statement is really needed here, this wasn't a vulnerability, the code was never called. Even if the code were called, the $10,000 bounty is for a different type of bug entirely too

    so stacking vulnerabilities is a thing

    if the code exists it can be called

    this is a valid bug and it’s silly to rule lawyer something like this

    so good job amd, you are ‘actually’ right,

    this totally won’t cost you in the long run at all

    god damn do lawyers and business majors need to stop making tech decisions
