The rootpipe vulnerability was finally fully disclosed last week after a couple of months of expectation since its first announcement. It was disclosed as a hidden backdoor but it’s really something more related to access control and crap design than a backdoor. Although keep in mind that good backdoors should be hard to distinguish from simple errors. In this case there are a lot of services using this feature so it’s hardly a hidden backdoor that just sits there waiting for some evil purpose.
