This allows the Taliban to spot every afghan who helped the US military beyond any doubt. Its basically a big kill list.

What is this headline? No where in the article does it state CCC are selling these devices, just that they bought some off auction and found and reported this vulnerability.

I read it as the CCC bought it at an auction

I know the CCC bought it of an auction and the Cambridge Dictionary and Webster says:
to auction = sell something at an auction
and they don't mention any other meaning for the verb form.
