Why would you be able to bill for a service that you weren’t asked to provide?

This can happen; if you're found unconscious and taken to the hospital, you can be billed for medical care which you didn't ask for, based on the doctrine of presumed consent.

One could imagine a parallel -- a critical emergency where it's impossible to communicate but it's reasonable to presume that they would want to have the issue fixed if they were aware. I don't think it necessarily applies here, but it's at least possible that another case could meet that bar.




Additionally in this case the company has a bug bounty policy / program, so it isn't quite unsolicited.
