Sivanesh took to Twitter and said that @kl_sree and I found a bug in Google Cloud that allowed us to take over the victim’s compute engine VM. And that’s how they won a bounty by reporting various bugs in the security of google cloud computing.

The Hackers further stated through their blog post that, “Since there was no random token or CSRF protection, anyone could craft a link and send it to a Compute Engine user to create a new user in their instance…making a victim open a malicious link would add the attacker’s username and SSH key into their computer.”

A bug bounty is a cash prize, or some reward companies give to those who find significant flaws in security, bugs, or vulnerabilities. And the India Hackers scored a bounty of $22,267, around Rs. 18,00,000.

The duo received the bounty as they found us some major security bugs in the cloud services of google – Google Cloud Program Projects. One of the significant bounties was around $5000 to find out the bug of SSRF (Server Side Request Forgery).

Server Side Request Forgery is the primary security flaw in which hackers tend to trick the victim into opening random malicious links, and thus, hackers can take complete control of their Google Cloud Program Projects (GCP)

However, there is no need to worry about these bugs now. Upon discovering these bugs, google immediately releases the patches and secures its cloud services.

So, Are you also interested in finding bugs and getting rewards? If you have ever got any bug bounty, please let us know.
