Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?

The tech industry has not been reacting with alarm to the DeepSeek 4.1 Flash vulnerability, despite it potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a device. The vulnerability is present in the DeepSeek tool, a free, open-source tool designed to scan for security vulnerabilities. DeepSeek 4.1 was released in August 2022, but the vulnerability was only discovered by a researcher named 'brutus' in October 2022. The bug is a buffer overflow error in the DeepSeek tool, which can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a device. The researcher has not released the exploit code, and the vulnerability has not been patched yet. The lack of reaction from the industry is attributed to the fact that DeepSeek is not widely used, and the vulnerability is not being actively exploited in the wild. However, the researcher warns that the vulnerability is still a concern and should be addressed by the developers of the tool.
