I found this talking about the tweet. Nothing more.

While a CVSS score of 9.9 indicates critical severity, it’s important to approach the situation with a balanced perspective.

The whole article sounds like somebody asked chatGPT to explain the tweet in more detail.

Yes, it is indeed derived from the tweet either made by an LLM or by some low effort human. But still a good "mirror" of the deleted tweet.

Nice! That second one is just a repost of your first.

I wonder where the sources for this are? The hidden Margaritelli Twitter post?

Canonical and Red Hat have not only confirmed the vulnerability’s high severity but are also actively working on assessing its impact and developing patches.

A critical security vulnerability [...] has been identified by renowned security researcher Simone Margaritelli.

Yep, it's linking to that post.
