Hey Adrià,

Thanks for the update. It's great to see the vulnerability is being worked
on.

The PoC URLs will be made publicly available but only after 12 weeks from
submission date. Since you got in contact right after I submitted these I'm
sure the vulnerabilities will be addressed in time. My sole aim using OBB
is to get the vulnerabilities patched. I'm not particularly interested in
building a collection of vulnerable or previously vulnerable URLs so I am
more than happy to remove the incidents so that they're not made publicly
available once the vulnerabilities are addressed. Please let me know if
that's preferred.

Kindest Regards,

Cameron

Hi Cameron,

Just a quick update to let you know that the CKAN maintainers are working
on a patch for this vulnerability that will be released Wednesday next
week. In the meantime we will try to contact as many as possible of these
sites to try to get them ready to patch.

I'm not familiar with how OpenBugBounty works, so just to be clear, will
the exact details on how to reproduce the vulnerability be made public to
everybody at some point? If so, when?

Thank you very much.

Adrià
