I'm sorry but I find the slop PR's hilarious.

>the author just injected garbage bytes manually into the database header, and then argued that this corrupted the database

>Steps to reproduce: Modified cli/main.rs to include a Vec with limited capacity. Forced a volatile write beyond the allocated bounds using std::ptr::write_volatile.

>author claims to have found a critical vulnerability that allows for the execution of arbitrary SQL statements. Imagine that? A SQL database that allows the execution of SQL statements. How can we ever recover from this.

I wonder why are they even doing this. Do any of these PRs ever win any money? It feels like they are burning down a forest thinking they'll find gold if they do it, without any evidence that there will be any gold after the forest is burnt down.
