I love how publicly posting bugs shifts the balance of power. "schofield" probably though it was just a conversation between Yahoo and the submitter. Now it's a conversation between Yahoo and Hacker News.

Welp, the verdict is schofield is being dense. Of course user relationship pairs are potentially sensitive. Therefore enabling attackers to discover them by enumerating your tiny key space is an issue.

Either schofield needs to wisen up or Yahoo needs to put someone better in charge of their security issues.
