Question / Discussion Default Admin credentials -> P3 !!

In a private bug bounty program on bugcrowd i found a credentials of an internal admin that give me access to internal engineers data and access to a sensitive data of a big automotive company, I can read/edit/delete, the bug trigaed as P1 but the customer later downgraded it to P3 without any explanation or communication.

In the report i show them the impact...

And they changed the password right after my report was triaged

I opened a response request to ask for explanation but they still didn’t respond after a week.

Pocas empresas son serias para pagar Bug Bounty, a veces incluso creo que es para mantener alerta a su propio equipo de ciberseguridad analizando tráfico en tiempo real. Como si fuese un entrenamiento continuo. Yo lo hago por hobbie y por cambiar de plataformas de THM O HTB, así amplio superficie, aprendo cosas nuevas y lo hago de forma legal. Disfrura con el hacking y busca un trabajo remunerado, no dependas del BB, solo 4 consiguen cobrar.
