🔍💰 Ethical Hackers Uncover $50,500 Vulnerability in Software Supply Chain. In a remarkable collaboration, ethical hackers Snorlhax and the author identified a critical vulnerability within a newly acquired subsidiary’s software supply chain, leading to a $50,500 bounty. Their investigation revealed a GitHub Actions token embedded in a Docker image, which could allow attackers to manipulate code and compromise production environments. By targeting the overlooked integration of acquisitions and supply chain processes, they demonstrated how such vulnerabilities could have catastrophic impacts across an organization. Their findings underscore the importance of securing not just published code but every layer of the development process, inspiring other researchers to explore hidden vulnerabilities for significant rewards.
