Researcher review

One click remote code execution - Working as intended. Then reopened
neutral

Triage overall left me relatively disappointed, but by equal measures, relived. I reported a remote code execution to this program in May, the H1 analyst team reviewed and downgraded the severity from critical to high on account of double-counting the UI:R component, in the CVSS. Two weeks after the report was closed as informative quote: "The team has confirmed that the current behavior is working as expected given the trust model of the application." After thorough, and repeated follow up and technical rebuttal the company corrected their initial decision and awarded a bounty payout. The timeline on this report was May 23 → July 9, a whole 47 days, with 27 of those days, it sitting as Informative. Ultimately their turnaround and decision to award the bounty was appreciated and I will continue to engage with them where appropriate. However, to any new researchers on H1, do not pursue this program before you have the signal to request mediation, as without it, you will be entirely at the mercy of the program.

Remote Code Execution in Compass App via unescaped database name Informative Critical

Closed: Something else

bounty $2k – $10k

The triage of this report was recovered only by their final decision to reopen and pay a bounty. They decided to close the report as informative initially, and then after about a month of silence and repeated follow ups on my end, did they decided to reopen, and pay at a high severity. I have followed up again requesting that they reevaluate at the original criticality as their triage downgraded the severity to High after double counting the UI:R component of the CVSS. I cannot explain the sheer disappointment I felt when I first received the "working as intended" / informative closure. I am glad they made the honorable decision to award the bounty.
