This is a story that includes all of my failed recon missions, boring scans, coffee breaks, and that one moment when, instead of thinking like a hacker, I started thinking like a normal user.
This story started on a private, self-hosted bug bounty program I found through Google dorking.
Not HackerOne.
Not Bugcrowd.

- High: $300
- Critical: $500
