The researcher then reported his findings to Google.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image-original shortcode-image\"><span class=\"img aspect-set \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet2.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2020\/09\/08\/0e13b0cf-50e1-41f3-a215-505294edde0c\/resize\/1200xauto\/c0aac1c7d4e2f4a1f676aea6d7fe2974\/screenshot-2020-09-08-at-10-36-19.png\" class alt=\"screenshot-2020-09-08-at-10-36-19.png\" height=\"auto\" width=\"1200\"><\/span><figcaption readability=\"1\"><span class=\"caption\" readability=\"2\"><\/p>\n<p>Note: there is a missing &#8216; &gt; &#8216; in step three.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"credit\"> Zohar Shachar <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, this wasn&#8217;t the end of the security problem. After Google sent Shachar a message saying the XSS flaw was resolved, the researcher checked by launching Google Maps, entering the same payload, and viewing the results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>Shachar said that what he saw was &#8220;confusing,&#8221; as the fix just included adding a new CDATA tag to close the original tag. With two open CDATA tags, therefore, bypassing the fix would only take two closed CDATA tags.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/phones-for-low-income-users-hacked-before-theyre-turned-on\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Phones for low-income users hacked before they&#8217;re turned on, research finds<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was genuinely surprised the bypass was so simple,&#8221; the researcher noted. &#8220;I reported it so quickly (literally 10 minutes between checking my mailbox and reporting a bypass), that right after sending this mail I started doubting myself.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Roughly two hours after sending a fresh query with his findings, the researcher was told the case was being reopened.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The first XSS issue was reported to Google on April 23. By April 27, Google&#8217;s VRP team had accepted the vulnerability as legitimate, issuing the first fix and reward by June 7. The bypass of the original patch was reported on the same day, and after being resolved, the researcher received his second payout on June 18.<\/p>\n<p>Each vulnerability earned Shachar $5,000, for a total reward of $10,000. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ever since this Google Maps fix bypass incident I started to always re-validate fixes, even for simple things, and it has been paying off,&#8221; Shachar says. &#8220;I full-heartedly encourage you to do the same.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><strong>TechRepublic:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/farewell-flash-player-microsoft-tells-businesses-to-get-ready-for-the-end-of-support\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">Farewell Flash Player: Microsoft tells businesses to get ready for the end of support<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s bug bounty program issued a record amount of payouts over 2019.
