Perhaps if Chainguard are on your advance disclosure lists, they shouldn't be
On October 21st at 07:41 UTC, more than six hours before the coordinated release, Chainguard unilaterally broke the embargo and published built images containing the fix. Like other distributors, Chainguard had received the patch in advance so its users could update the moment the vulnerabilities were disclosed. Any attacker could now study the fix in binary form while every other PHP user was still waiting for the release. This disregarded weeks of work by many parties toward a coordinated disclosure.

@erincandescent less obviously, I would say the same applies to Calif too
@eater @erincandescent it's an "AI" company that *claims* to have found the vuln, but there are a lot of reasons to have doubts about their claims
notably they apparently disclosed some details early in spite of the embargo while showing off, supposedly a 'mistake'
@erincandescent CEO of chainguard publicly admits that the embargo break was intentional: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50176735
