The repo is about an exploit and then hundreds of people just run the script? Seems interesting

Not that unusual, unfortunately. The infosec community relies on researchers publishing PoC exploits in order for people to determine whether they’re affected or not, but that trust in PoCs can obviously be exploited.
Not everyone has the time or knowledge to develop their own PoCs, but you should definitely not use one if you can’t understand the PoC, which is unfortunately rather common.
