Robert Kugler, 17-летний студент из Германии, который интересуется компьютерной безопасностью, нашел уязвимость на сайте paypal.com, и решил сообщить о ней в рамках программы по награждению за найденные баги. Однако, ему было отказано, т.к. он не достиг 18 лет. В ответ на это, он опубликовал уязвимость на seclists.org. Вот что он пишет:
Hello all!
I'm Robert Kugler a 17 years old German student who's interested in
securing computer systems.
I would like to warn you that PayPal.com is vulnerable to a Cross-Site
Scripting vulnerability!
PayPal Inc. is running a bug bounty program for professional security
researchers.
XSS vulnerabilities are in scope. So I tried to take part and sent my find
to PayPal Site Security.
The vulnerability is located in the search function and can be triggered
with the following javascript code:
';alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//';alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//";
alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//";alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))//--
</SCRIPT>">'><SCRIPT>alert(String.fromCharCode(88,83,83))</SCRIPT>
Screenshot: picturepush.com/public/13144090
Unfortunately PayPal disqualified me from receiving any bounty payment
because of being 17 years old…
PayPal Site Security:
«To be eligible for the Bug Bounty Program, you *must not*:
… Be less than 18 years of age.If PayPal discovers that a researcher does
not meet any of the criteria above, PayPal will remove that researcher from
the Bug Bounty Program and disqualify them from receiving any bounty
payments.»
I don’t want to allege PayPal a kind of bug bounty cost saving, but it’s
not the best idea when you're interested in motivated security
researchers…
Best regards,
Robert Kugler
К слову, подобные программы от Mozilla и Google позволяют получить вознаграждение участникам, не достигшим 18 лет, с согласия родителей.
