I was wrong that the BU devs found the vulnerability. It was an independent security researcher who found it and disclosed it to them privately. This is what the researcher who found the vulnerability had to say:

The problem is, the bugs are so glaringly obvious that when fixing it, it will be easy to notice for anyone watching their development process,” she said.

This is actually quite a good article.

But as BU is gaining traction, the BU code will come under closer and closer scrutiny, and these issues will be resolved. Those who prefer the BU future vision to the core future vision are more likely to get involved. Perhaps the article doesn't explore this possibility.
