They say they’ll be releasing the patch publicly, but isn’t this OSS, can’t anyone just do a diff and with a little “elbow grease” find the patch?
I can't tell if that's it?
edit: I've looked at it a few times, I don't think that's it?

"Fortunately" some "white hat" hacker contacted us last year about another Metabase exploit. I gave him a 30 USD tip and ended up doing exactly what you are suggesting.
Now I'm glad that means I don't need to interrupt my vacation to fix this thing right now.
