XSS vulnerability found in Github
End-users aren't who you need to tell. Just site owners. Posting this to HN before it was fixed constitutes (IMO) completely irresponsible disclosure.

I agree. I would not have disclosed this particular XSS flaw until after it was fixed.

Yes, soon after posting I realised it wasn't the best idea I've ever had. I regret posting this before the Github guys got a chance to fix the hole. Not something I'm going to repeat.
