@DouweM I think exploiting is (in this context) when you use a vulnerability to ("to" as in "on purpose, not by accident or carelessness") achieve a personal gain or inflict a loss on somebody else. I consider what he did is a proof-of-concept, he demonstrated the vulnerability (doing so _without_ using the exploit is impossible (and doing so does not constitute malevolence)).
