@ProofOfBug@FloeLabs@AlexQuellsIt The same thing happened to me. They fixed the vuln after closing my report with a single disrespectful and unprofessional type. This is so funnyyyy
The same kind of situation applies web2 as well on @injective. I found a valid issue, and the team actually fixed it. But after fixing it, they closed my report as “out of scope”
According to @immunefi, if a reported vulnerability is fixed, the researcher should be rewarded+
I Saved Injective's $500M. They Pay Me $50K.
I like hunting bugs on @immunefi . I'm decent at it.

Life was good. Then I found a Critical vulnerability in @injective .
This vulnerability allowed any user to directly drain any account on the chain. No special permissions needed. Over $500M in on-chain assets were at risk.
I reported it through Immunefi. The next day, a mainnet upgrade to fix the bug went to governance vote. The Injective team clearly understood the severity.
Then — silence. For 3 months. No follow up. No technical discussion. Nothing.
A few days ago, they notified me of their decision: $50K. The maximum payout for a Critical vulnerability in their bug bounty program is $500K. I disputed it. Silence again. No explanation for the reduced payout. No explanation for the 3 month ghost. No conversation at all. To be clear: the $50K has not been paid either.
I've seen others share bad experiences with bug bounty payouts recently. I never thought it would happen to me. I can't force them to do the right thing. But I won't let this be forgotten.
I will dedicate 10% of all my future bug bounty earnings to making sure this story stays visible — until Injective pays what I deserve.

However, my report has been marked as “closed” for a long time, and the @immunefi mediation team still hasn’t responded.
Honestly, this is really frustrating.
