Nice find. Considering the bug is literally staring every single user in the face on the URL bar, I would imagine it would be hard to pin blame on an individual.

I guess this is the final nail in the coffin for the 'many eyes' theory though.

At least it will make a good t-shirt;

  "Query String Parameters Are Not Private"
  "Friends Don't Let Friends Store PHI in Query Parameters"
OK, never mind about the t-shirt.
