As a reminder, RCE = remote code execution (it’s not defined in the article).

It is defined in the article the first time it is used in the text.

Maybe they read your comment and fixed it?


Perhaps so! I didn’t see it defined anywhere earlier.


These days people use "RCE" for local code execution.


I would clarify that as running code somewhere you don’t already control. The classic approach would be a malformed request letting them run code on someone else’s server, but this other pull-based approach also qualifies since it’s running code on a stranger’s computer.
