The page itself seems vibecoded and a bit of an advertisement, but it does look like the vulnerability is real and high risk. It does explain the big security update I just got, guess I'll prioritize updating today.

With vibe coding, html is a visualiation tool. not sure if i get your problem with that?
This is pretty obviously an advertisement but it's a pretty good advertisement imo, it pairs a meaningful contribution to the OSS ecosystem (discovering and patching a real bug) with selling your cybersecurity tool at the same time.
The incentive previously was having more secure software making a name for yourself. The incentive now is finding the most noisy vulnerability so you can push FUD to sell your AI software.
These guys don't need to advertise, they are already 100% busy with work. But who wastes their time manually creating web pages? Especially kernel devs.
Side comment: I have recently used Claude Code to make a few sites for testing purposes. In the prompt I added "don't make it look vibe coded," and it worked pretty well: No purple gradients, bento box layouts, etc. Nothing spectacularly original, either, but probably enough to avoid accusations of vibe coding.
it's advertising their AI, not the talents of their humans :D
People are confusing the presentation layer with the content, just a surface layer analysis. Basically people are feeling so burnt by reading AI fluff that they make a rushed judgement.
