Re: Fwd: Google vulnerabilities with PoC

We are not asking for a payment. But at least a thank you for our efforts
would do.

Saying that it is not an issue, to upload remotely any file of choice, that
is ridiculous for the organisation they represent.

You are wrong, because we do have proof of concepts. If we didn't have
them, then there would be no case.

But if there are video clips, images demonstrating impact - in which case
arbitrary file uploads (which is a write() call ) to a remote network, then
it is a vulnerability. It is not about the bounty, but rather about not
defying academic literature and widely recognised practise.

Attacking the arguer, won't make the bug to go away.

Best,

Nicholas.

Nicholas, seriously, just stop.

You have found an 'arbitrary file upload' in a file hosting service and
claim it is a serious vulnerability. With no proof that your 'arbitrary
file' is being used anywhere in any context that would lead to code
execution - on server or client side. You cite OWASP documents (which are
unrelated to the case), academia papers from 1975 just to find a reason
it's theoretically serious, not paying any attention to what service you're
actually attacking and what have you really achieved in that (which is
demonstrating a filtering weakness at best, low risk).

Everyone on this list so far explains why you're wrong, but you just
won't stop. So you start throwing out certificates, your academia
experience and your respected company. Then - name calling everyone else.
Seriously, it's just a good laugh for most of us.

Dude, please, just because you did not qualify for a bounty, there's no
point in launching a whole campaign like you are. You're essentially
following the path of Khalil Shreateh (the guy who posted on Zuckerberg FB
wall) - he DID find a vuln though. Do you really want that? Go ahead, start
a crowdsourcing campaign!

We have many PoC's including video clips. We may upload for the security
world to see.

However, this is not the way to treat security vulnerabilities.
Attacking the researcher and bringing you friends to do aswell, won't
mitigate the problem.
