The author stated that the discovered jailbreak relies on a remote exploit, which could be triggered without action by the device owner.
That is what is known as a "security vulnerability".
It is impolite in the extreme to publicly release a security exploit without giving the vendor a chance to fix it first.
You can maybe get upset at the author for giving Amazon so much extra time (though getting upset doesn't really help). Yes, there is a concept of giving the vendor a time limit, to prevent them from taking too long while users' devices/software/whatever are still vulnerable. But no one here has any idea of the details of the author's communications with Amazon, or how long he has given them to fix it.
Do NOT get upset at the mere idea that the author would attempt to coordinate with Amazon.
