Security researcher earns $2,000 Bitcoin bounty by exploiting PHP2Shell on a test site.

A security researcher named killa successfully exploited a PHP2Shell vulnerability on a deliberately vulnerable website, earning a $2,000 Bitcoin bounty. The exploit retrieved a private key stored on the server, but it was from the wrong wallet branch, so the funded prize wallet remained secure. The PHP endpoint needed for the exploit was added on Oct. 25, and killa completed the challenge that same day. The researcher also published a proof of concept and detailed write-up to demonstrate the attack in a controlled environment.

The $2,000 Bitcoin bounty won by researcher killa in the PHP2Shell challenge comes as a backdrop to cryptocurrency market activity.
