how much of a bounty was paid to Eva for this finding?

They were compensated, but doesn't elaborate.

Sounds like it was handled better than the authors last article where the Arc browser company initially didn't offer any bounty for a similar RCE, then awarded a paltry $2k after getting roasted, and finally bumped it up to $20k after getting roasted even more.
They later updated their post, at the bottom:

> for those wondering, in total i got 5k for this vuln, which i dont blame todesktop for because theyre a really small company

50.000$ additional to the first 5.000$ :)

Woooowwww!

See latest line: "update: cursor (one of the affected customers) is giving me 50k USD for my efforts."
