Title: Unraveling the Mystery of My Stealthy Node.js Bug Bounty Hack

"Hey fellow hackers, I'm reaching out for your expertise - I've managed to hack a node.js project and claim a bug bounty of $10k. The weird part is, my exploit didn't make it into the official vulnerability report, and I can only assume it's because of some sneaky edge case I stumbled upon. Can anyone shed some light on how I might've missed it?"

"Hey OP, I went through your post and I gotta say, your debugging skills are on point. That async callback hell was a nightmare, but I'm curious - did you end up submitting the vulnerability to the Node.js security team?"

"Dude, I was following your bug bounty thread and I'm stoked to hear you managed to track down that Node.js issue. Your debugging process is insane, btw. Can you share more on the vulnerability you ended up exploiting?"

"Dude, this is some next-level bug finding right here. I'm impressed by how you managed to sniff out that vulnerability, good job on the payout. Can you walk us through how you used the stacktrace to track it down?"

"Dude, I think I saw a similar vulnerability in a Node.js library a year ago and it was a classic case of a prototype pollution exploit. Did you happen to use a library like Lodash or something similar?"

"Dude, I think I can help you identify the issue. I've seen similar code patterns being used in previous bug bounties that have been exploited via vulnerable dependencies. Can you share your node modules and any error logs you've encountered?"

"Dude, I think I know what's up. Sounds like your hacker might've exploited a zero-day vuln in Node.js, especially if it's an old version. Can you check your package.json and see if you're running anything outdated?"

"Dude, I followed the write-up and I gotta say, it's some crazy stuff. That JSON deserialization vulnerability is a no-brainer to exploit, but nice job on the payload crafting. Any plans to release the exploit code, or is it gonna be a commercial offering?"
