Summary

@ahmd_halabi reported a client-side Denial of Service vulnerability to us. A video proof of concept detailing the issue can be found in https://youtu.be/NJUikSh1uro.

How it was found

Hello,

Summary: There is a bug in Updating Bounty Table section causing Denial Of Service , specifically loading up the memory usage (Out Of Memory). This happens when you visit a corrupted bounty table of a target program.

I didn't figure out yet how this issue happened but I am reporting it now immediately because it affects all hackers who view the bounty table of the target affected program.

Description: The issue happened with me when I was clicking on a notification telling that Clario has updated their bounty table. So I clicked on it to see the updated bounty table and suddenly my browser tab crashed and a message showed telling Error code: Out Of Memory. I tried it from two hackerone accounts and they results with the same issue.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Navigate to the notification: https://hackerone.com/clario/bounty_table_versions?nid=115515717&utm_campaign=user_652675&utm_content=team_url&utm_medium=email&utm_source=bounty_table_update
  2. You will not be able to click on any button (Ex: profile or Inbox).
  3. After short while, Browser will crash.

Optional: Your Environment (Browser version, Device, etc)
