#5: Tweet Deck XSS -Persistent- Group DM name

This XSS bug earned Wesecureapp $2,520 from Twitter. Why such an odd number? It’s a multiple of 140, which is the number of characters allowed in a Tweet.

#4: RCE by Flask Jinja2 Template Injection

This RCE from orange earned $10,000. Look at the timestamps to see how quickly Uber jumped on this and fixed it. Hackers, look how quickly they pay!

#3: Arbritrary file Upload on AirMax was the biggest earner on this list — $18,000. There was a great collaboration between 93c08539 and the company that allowed ample time for affected devices to be updated safely.

#2: DOM based XSS via Wistia embedding

This amazing find was matched with a blazing fast fix — 7 hours. It earned reactors08 a $1,152 bug bounty.

And at #1. By a lot: SSRF in https://imgur.com/vidgif/url

This was reported by Aesteral, part of HackerOne’s 90-90 Club (90+ percentile in Signal and Impact). It lit up the web stats the weekend it went public and all of HackerOne marveled at how widely it was read. Aesteral was awarded $2,000 for this clearly written and effective report.
