Apple Suing Ex-Employees Highlights Lack of 'Security Vulnerability' Education in AI Era

I noticed an interesting detail—the "rare vulnerability" described when Apple sued its former employee is actually a classic permission management failure in computer science. The news didn't fully elaborate on the specific mechanism, but based on my years of experience guiding students through projects, this so-called "rarity" likely refers to a system failing to correctly revoke an access token for a departed employee under certain conditions, or an internal API design that allowed unrestricted bulk downloads. Textbooks call these "privilege escalation vulnerabilities," but what's truly rare is that it happened at a company like Apple, which prides itself on security.
