I'm genuinely furious with how @Meta@metabugbounty has handled my security research.
On July 22, I submitted a report demonstrating a FULLY WORKING, UNAUTHENTICATED REMOTE CODE EXECUTION vulnerability in a Meta-hosted cloud service.
It took over 100 days for this report to even reach the appropriate engineering team for investigation. Over three months of waiting for a critical security vulnerability to be properly reviewed.
And the final reward? $500.
For those interested in the technical details:
The vulnerability involved unsanitized user input being concatenated into Apache Camel AS2 endpoint URIs, allowing arbitrary endpoint option injection.
I discovered that Camel's property binding mechanism allowed arbitrary Java class instantiation through #class: references. By leveraging Spring's ClassPathXmlApplicationContext, I was able to load a remotely hosted Spring configuration and instantiate java.lang.ProcessBuilder, achieving arbitrary OS command execution.
From there, I demonstrated access to AWS EC2 instance-role credentials through the instance metadata service.
This was not theoretical. I demonstrated the entire exploit chain.
AND I STOPPED THERE.
I deliberately did not use the obtained credentials against AWS APIs or investigate how much further I could escalate within their AWS environment. I had already demonstrated the impact and chose to respect the program rules.
Meanwhile, vulnerabilities involving similar levels of impact have reportedly received bounties of over $150,000.
$150,000 versus $500.
I spent significant time finding, validating, documenting, and responsibly disclosing a critical vulnerability. I provided reproduction evidence and remediation recommendations. I exercised restraint rather than pushing further into their AWS environment.
And after making me wait over three months, this is how Meta values that work?
I'm not demanding an automatic $150K payout. I'm demanding an actual, technically defensible explanation of how anyone could arrive at a $500 valuation for a demonstrated unauthenticated RCE with access to AWS credentials.
This is an insult to the independent security researchers who dedicate their time to protecting your infrastructure.
What incentive are you giving researchers to continue responsibly disclosing critical vulnerabilities when this is how you treat them?
I genuinely expected better. This experience has completely destroyed my confidence in Meta's bug bounty program.
@Meta, @metabugbounty enough with the boilerplate responses. I want an actual explanation.
This one is so amazing, super good
as example for the bros here, if you're doing an AI scan and you're thinking that maybe there's a SQL, you can tag this for your AI to read ALL reports about SQL from this
And for sure, a lot of other cool things can be done with huntdeck
nice work mate
Bug Bounty - Caido MCP
We showed how to set up Caido MCP for better manipulation with AI reasoning.
Caido is basically an alternative to Burp Suite
It automates parsing raw HTTP data, gathering fragments, and processing initial payloads, so you can focus on the bigger picture

We have now published the PoC after the PoC. Enjoy :)
I would say it is one of the most powerful primitives for logic LPE bugs.

An $8,000 payout for looking past the usual SSRF payloads! Here is how a researcher escalated a basic SSRF into full Kubernetes infrastructure exposure just by reading the HTTP response headers,
🚨 BUG: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) / Information Disclosure
THE FLAW:
• The researcher found an SSRF vulnerability but hit a wall—standard cloud metadata endpoints (AWS/GCP) and localhost payloads returned nothing useful.
• The breakthrough came from a single, overlooked HTTP response header.
• This hidden header leaked internal Kubernetes infrastructure details, including Pod IPs, workload identifiers, and internal service names.
THE EXPLOIT:
• Realizing the target wasn't a standard cloud instance but a containerized Kubernetes environment with a service mesh, the researcher pivoted.
• Using the leaked naming conventions from the header, they routed the SSRF to hit internal Kubernetes services.
• They discovered exposed internal monitoring interfaces and administrative endpoints, including one that could potentially shut down running service components.
• Instead of taking down production (which is out of bounds), they documented the exposed destructive capability, proving severe impact across Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
STRATEGIC TAKEAWAY:
• Stop blindly throwing AWS metadata payloads at every SSRF.
• A failed metadata request doesn't mean the SSRF is useless; it usually means the target is using a different architecture, like Kubernetes. Always analyze the complete HTTP response, especially the headers, to fingerprint the internal network before you start firing payloads.

💀Fuzzing tip that actually saved me hours:
Before you start, send just 2 requests:
https://t.co/PNofyKqoOu → 200 (real page)
https://t.co/LTzQoVEglq → 404 (nothing there)
That’s it. Now you know what a real response looks like vs a miss.
Then you immediately know:
- 200 + 404 → normal site, fuzz it
- 200 + 200 → catch-all, every result is fake
- 200 + 403 → WAF blocks unknown paths, you’re already slow
- 403 + 403 → just stop, everything is blocked
Two requests tell you if you’re about to waste 3 hours or get your IP banned.
Do this every time.
