This programmer just executed the most beautiful integer overflow exploit in history! First wishing for wishes to be counted as an unsigned 32-bit integer (max value: 4,294,967,295 wishes), then ensuring the subtraction happens after the wish completes (avoiding the "no more wishes" rule), and finally wishing for 0 wishes which causes an underflow to 4,294,967,295! The genie's face says it all - he just got absolutely destroyed by a classic buffer overflow vulnerability. This is what happens when you don't sanitize your inputs, magical beings!
