GitHub paid a $100,000 bounty for a critical bug in its internal Git infrastructure
A reposted article says GitHub awarded a $100,000 bug bounty after a researcher found a critical vulnerability in GitHub’s internal Git infrastructure.
The write-up frames the bug as a reminder of a quietly important concept that underpins much of modern web infrastructure and helps explain why a seemingly small Git push can expose a serious flaw.
