Because the people who created it forgot to implement authentication.

I bet they now wish they’d done that now that anyone can curl POST anything they want and it looks like the bots are plotting to take over the world but it’s really just humans trolling like they always have.

No human would have designed a system like this. No bot would either if it had the full context. Maybe that’s what wisdom is? Having the appropriate amount of context to make proper decisions.

This is where amateurs go wrong. They give the code assistant incomplete context because they simply don’t know any better.
