If these are anything like the other AI vulnerability reports I would say there's a tiny chance one of the high severity ones is a minor bug and the others are hot air.

Notably, Claude Opus was much better at finding vulnerabilities than writing software to exploit them. The team ended up spending $4,000 in API credits trying to concoct proof-of-concept exploits, but only succeeded in two cases.
