This is discussed here, as you've noted:

Having applied the security constraint, did you try exploiting TRACE or
did you just run your security analysis tool?

This is the place.

Perhaps that's because no one cares?  Especially if a fix is known, as
it is for this issue.

Or perhaps it's because people don't care to respond when the original
post uses such an offensive tone ;)
