Comment on Supply-chain attack using invisible code hits GitHub and other repositories

Comments

Weird article. The author talks about Unicode "public use areas" (which don't exist), clarifies that they're sometimes called "public use access" (a term appearing only in this article) and are invisible while also being used for flags and emojis and also having special meaning to JavaScript interpreters and also representing letters in the "US alphabet".

There's a real vulnerability here but whoever wrote this has no idea what they're talking about.
