In both, the details around the `sub` field, the field that should actually be used to identify the user, is poorly described. I would say that both of these feel a bit sensationalist, but then again, if relying parties are NOT using the sub field to validate users, they should be called out.
It seems to be that a good way to make some money is find every such situation where RPs are not using sub, and submit vuln bugs.
It sounds surprisingly human-like, even saying "Hello?" in a slightly annoyed tone when the other person doesn't respond in time.

It's likely (although like others have noted, this is scant on details), that this value was correct and represented the authenticated user.
A relying party should not use the email value to authenticate the user.
Not contesting that this is a bug that should be fixed and a potential security issue, but perhaps not as bad.
Anyone else? Am I reading this right?
I didn't see anything refuting that in a short look around, but maybe that's changed.
konciergeMD (http://konciergemd.com/) is an early stage startup in the Philly suburbs. We're building a product that changes how caregivers and providers collaborate to deliver healthcare. We're a small, polyglot team with diverse backgrounds. Our stack is Java/Scala on the back end and HTML5/CSS3/Javascript on the front end. We care deeply about aesthetics. We care deeply about coffee. We are seeking developers who are equally comfortable with front and back end development and who understand web-scale, high-availability, high-traffic application architectures.
We're looking to bring on a top-notch software engineer, a pragmatist focused on shipping. We are open to contract or full-time work candidates. You will play a role in shaping this product -- this is core to our culture, so bring your opinions. We're generalists, but the path we're blazing will heavily rely on Javascript, jQuery, Backbone.js, HTML5, CSS3, Java, Scala, Play Framework, and Amazon Web Services. We're web first but mobile is quickly approaching on the horizon. Bonus points if you have experience working with medical informatics. Gold stars if you have experience working with big data, machine learning, or semantic web.
