@DEV, a guy named porqupine found a vulnerability, it can be used to attack XCP and cause our money lost, could you fix this issue

His post in reddit:
Please don't feed the troll:
Please respond to the fact that I'm well known in this community, that there is working source code, and you've both refused my offer to make a CFD so I could demonstrate the vulnerability, and blocked all my posts from the bitcointalk thread.
Why would I spend months designing a website for CFD's and than try to discredit them? And further if there is no exploit, why wouldn't you make a CFD and prove me wrong, rather than trying to censor me?

Please see PhantomPhreak's post directly above yours. The feature is being disabled in order to deal with the bug.

EDIT: to be perfectly clear, the bug is such that by making small CFDs against a large one, you can effectively increase the latter's exposure. This is an implementation issue, and is being fixed.
