You're freaking out about the exploit being written in Python and occupying only a small number of bytes. Are you the LLM that wrote Xint's terrible landing page? If so, I have questions.

Oh come on, you know what I'm saying. It's small when written in python, which means any skid can spew it into a server he's got a shell on and get root in 2 seconds. He doesn't need to hope there's already a compiler installed, nor does he need to download some big tool. Just:

  cat | python3 && su
  <puke>, Ctrl-D
And I'm sure it can be refined into something much more likable to the spooky types, if they haven't already done it.
