Few months back, I reported a vulnerability in an open source project due to the fake alarm from Github without understanding it's consequences. The author of that project immediately locked, and closed the issue and deleted the detail.

Though he was annoyed with my this act but he taught me a good lesson of responsibility.

    Looks like you hurt a neckbeard/basement dweller's poor little feelings.

    Some programmers are huge egotistical assholes who hate to be shown their fuck ups.

    @Floydian yes. However many developers don't share their direct contact detail on Github which makes it tuff to report. In such case we should raise an issue to contact them not to disclose the vulnerability.
