A Tour of Office 365, Azure & SharePoint, through the Eyes of a Bug Hunter
iSpeech.org
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) outbreak has started almost twenty years ago and since then it has been infecting web applications at a concerning pace. It is feared that the influx of programs and bug hunters arriving at bug bounty platforms will worsen the situation given more disclosed cases of bug(s) or public citing and viewing. According to #FakeNews Media, the outbreak engulfed One Microsoft Way in Redmond. This is where a contagious tour starts.
The tour guide will convoy you thru 50 award winning shattered windows in Office 365, Azure and SharePoint. All reported XSS findings spawned great riches and ended up in The Honor Roll or made their way to a simple acknowledgement entry or several CVE-plated thanks. The goal of this walking tour: an intimate look at Microsoft online or cloud services (Office 365 and Azure) bug bounty programs through the eyes of a bug hunter.
This briefing will conclude on: classical XSS is here to stay while Redmond's outbreak "... was like a storm. But storms, they can come back. Can't they? The question is, if they come back, is it the same storm, or has something changed?"
