It simply means that any code/script can be inserted via the exploit with as many characters in total as the anchor text field allows, and inserting a redirect is certainly one of the less evil things I could imagine.

As for making exploits public: It's often the only way to get things fixed fast, a little public pressure works wonders. It may not be nice, but it's effective.
