Either Uber lied about this guy discovering the flaw so they didn't have to pay me, or Burp Proxy is sending telemetry back to Portswigger with high value vulnerabilities being discovered with the platform. I worked with nobody on this attack, I shared no information with anyone else, and submitted a remote execution vulnerability using HackerOne's supposedly secure triage system.

I wrote it all up on Medium, it got close to 400K reads over the 2018 Christmas holiday with many other stories in a similar vein related to incompetence in their security group. HackerOne is worthless, a scam unless you are full time working for them on bug bounties and already connected with their top ranked researchers.
