I'm convinced someone just grepped commit messages for this and submitted a #CVE and there was nothing and no one that even tried to confirm or check that this was actually legitimate. There was no filter in place and it was incorrectly let through. That's why it should be rejected. Saying it is "disputed" hints that there can be different views on this subject.
So, you are asking me to explain how this not identified vulnerability is actually not identifying a vulnerability.
