Hello Hackers! 👋

Let’s dive right in 🕵️♂️💻
🛡️ The Program
This was a private program hosted on Bugcrowd. I received an invitation to hunt for bugs and didn’t waste a second to open my ♾️_PINAK_♾️
I used my custom tools and techniques 🛠️ for recon and testing. As always, creativity was key. 🔍
🐞 The Bug (Sort of...)
Unfortunately, I can’t disclose the exact vulnerability yet (it’s still being patched), but here’s a useful tip that might help you spot similar issues.
🧩 The Tip: Error-Based Recon
Try to intentionally break endpoints that host files. You can often get verbose error messages revealing stack traces or internal data.

Add characters like: £ € $ % @. Misconfigurations often surface this way! 🤯
