How it was found

Hi,

I just found that it's possible to create titleless and non-closable bugs by prepending values for the 'report[title]' and 'report[vulnerability_information]' parameters with '%00' characters respectively.

To reproduce:

  • Create a baseline request via https://hackerone.com/[program]/reports/new
  • Intercept said request to allow tampering using a valid session (i.e. Burp Repeater)
  • Prepend the value for 'report[title]' with '%00' (creates titleless report) or;
  • Prepend the value for report[vulnerability_information]' with '%00' (create non-closable report)
  • View the titleless/non-closable bug reports in the queue for [program]

Regards,
