HACKTIVITY
Stored XSS in community.ubnt.com [8 upvotes] - $500 bounty for this report to Ubiquity Networks by @vibhuti_i. Tenacity pays off (not beg bounty, mind you, valid arguments based on facts and good PoC’s :). Originally closed as informative, re-opened, bounty awarded. All lived (safely) happily ever after!
Subdomain takeover #2 at info.hacker.one [31 upvotes] for this report to ahem, HackerOne, by @ak1t4. Simple PoC and repeat of #202767.
