TL;DR

• Code within the latest version of Google Photos includes specific error messages that highlight the edits that Magic Editor will refuse to do.
• Magic Editor will refuse to edit photos of ID cards, receipts, images with personally identifiable information, human faces, and body parts.
• Magic Editor already avoids many of these edits but without specific error messages, leaving users guessing on what is allowed and what is not.

After creating a normal user Sourcegraph account, the hacker used the token to elevate the account privileges to those of an #administrator.
