The first 3 words carry the same information as: hackers hacked hackable proprietary code. So just "proprietary code hacked" is enough.

Agreed. Further reduced: > Proprietary code hack. (6w/45c -> 3w/22c: >50%)

This is too context dependent to be considered lossless.

You can get rid of 'flawed' since it's implicit in 'exploit'

I’m quite sure the hackers used HTML with highlighted syntax and filled with CHINESE ideograms in a dark room, typing on a mechanical gaming keyboard, as per the opening image.

The word exploit alone is ambiguous since it can also mean roughly “to use.”
