Detectify Crowdsource October recap & WordPress vulnerabilities galore

September marked a highly productive month for Detectify Crowdsource, with over 1200 hits generated by submissions, making it the second-best month in terms of activity. The platform saw significant contributions, particularly in identifying new vulnerabilities affecting WordPress, including both core and plugins, with many submissions coming from 17-year-old UK-based security researcher Yasin Soliman, who was named Hacker of the Month after submitting over 25 valid modules. The platform introduced a new "fixed bounty" system to incentivize high-quality submissions, even if they do not generate many hits, based on feedback from a survey sent to community members. Additionally, an open redirect affecting the latest version of WordPress was identified as the top finding of the month. The blog also featured a guest post by Peter Jaric, discussing potential security risks associated with Selenium Grid.
