HackerOne breach lets outside hacker read customers’ private bug reports
- AshwinDurairaj 7y agoI think this is a disproportionately negative title compared to what actually happened, and solely for one word, "breach". My opinion is that it conveys something more serious than a bug. Thousands of secrets have been leaked on Github/Bitbucket, and we don't need to report every single one as a "breach". For instance many AWS credentials have been reported as being leaked on HackerOne, but I don't see Ars writing an article for each one saying "X company breach let's outside hacker have full access to X's infrastructure"
- rvnx 7y agoThe breach is here: https://hackerone.com/reports/745324 https://hackerone.com/reports/745324 TL;DR: One user reported a bug to sign-in using cURL. HackerOne replied with admin credentials (session) to show that login works. Nobody noticed. One guy logged in, downloaded a significant amount of sensitive data (private exploits!) and then told HackerOne. They give 20'000 USD to say nothing about it. End of story.
