Bug bounty people do this all the time. It's almost always a sign that your bug is something silly, like DKIM.

I wrote this comment before rereading the original post and realizing that they had literally submitted a DKIM report (albeit a rare instance of a meaningful one). Just to be clear: in my original comment, I did not mean to suggest this bug was silly; only that in the world of security bug bounties, DKIM reports are universally viewed as silly.


what does it mean to say a bug is silly?

only thing that matters is the severity and what it allows the attackers to do.

Yeah currently the sentiment seems to be "okay fine it works for simple stuff but won't deal with my complex query so it can be dismissed outright." Save yourselves some time and use it for that simple stuff folks.


my boss seems to think so.


you start with wearing these at home
