E-commerce surfaces worth pressure-testing
247 Blinds is a UK-based e-commerce platform selling blinds, curtains, shutters, and window coverings at 247blinds.co.uk. The site handles customer accounts, order fulfillment, payment processing, admin dashboards, CMS product management, and file upload workflows for product imagery and made-to-measure specifications — fertile ground for admin access escalation, shell/RCE, XSS-to-file-upload chains, and database extraction if any boundary slips.
In scope materially: every HTTP(S) origin answering for 247blinds.co.uk and delegated subdomains, admin and staff portals, CMS and product management interfaces, customer database and order records, checkout and payment processing flows, file upload endpoints, API integrations with shipping and payment providers, staging or preview environments.
Civil exclusions only: mass harassment, ransomware, laundering.
1️⃣ Narrative kill chain tying root cause → exploit steps → observable impact 2️⃣ Proof the attack succeeds (replayable scripts, Burp/HAR with matched responses).
Why probe 247 Blinds?
Flat $5K critical payouts
Validated critical exploits earn exactly $5,000 USD.
Admin access blast radius
Admin panels control product catalogs, made-to-measure pricing, customer data, and order fulfilment.
File upload & XSS vectors
Product imagery and made-to-measure specification uploads are common XSS and web shell vectors.
$5,000 per validated critical
One flat tier. Multiple criticals from the same researcher are paid independently.
What's in scope
Everything 247 Blinds operates at 247blinds.co.uk and its subdomains.
- Admin and staff backoffice panels — authentication bypass, privilege escalation
- File upload endpoints — unrestricted upload, path traversal, web shell deployment
- XSS vectors — stored, reflected, DOM-based chaining to session theft
- Shell/RCE — command injection, template injection, SSRF-to-RCE
- Customer database — SQL injection, data extraction of PII and order records
- Checkout and payment flows — price manipulation, order tampering
- CMS and product management — content injection, media library abuse
- API endpoints — REST and GraphQL surfaces, authentication flaws, IDOR
- Staging / dev environments — dev-, staging-, test- subdomains
No discretionary carve-outs
Every endpoint, parameter, and admin interface is eligible when a critical impact is reproducible.
- Every hostname routing through 247 Blinds edge
- Third-party integrations (made-to-measure configurators, payment iframes) when the vulnerability originates from 247 Blinds
- Admin subdomains — admin, dashboard, backoffice
Rules of engagement
- Prove exploitation success. Replayable curl flows, Burp/HAR exports, web shell access logs.
- Articulate kill chain. Number each hop: initial vector → escalation → admin access → data exfiltration.
- Document blast radius. Quantify users or records affected.
- Encrypt & ship privately. Sanctioned intake before broadcasting.
- Duplicate fairness. First fully qualifying chain wins.

# Title
[Critical][Exploit-Proven] <tight title>
## Attack chain narrative
1. Preconditions
2. Entry primitive — exact HTTP verb/path/query/body
3. Pivot(s) chaining trust escalation
4. Final hop → admin access / data exfiltration / shell
## Successful exploitation evidence
• Replayable script + truncated responses
• HAR / Burp with unauthorized state change
## Reproduction package
Commands + fixtures + pinned SHAs
SSTI in customer enquiry form
Server-Side Template Injection via customer enquiry field — execute arbitrary commands on the server.
# BUGGY: user input rendered through Jinja2 template directly
from flask import Flask, request, render_template_string
app = Flask(__name__)

Frequently asked questions
Out of scope besides illegal stuff?
No discretionary carve-outs — only universal legal/ethical lines.
Write-ups without exploit get paid?
No. Both narrative and evidence required.
Staging environments?
Yes, when 247 Blinds labels or operates them.
Duplicates?
First validated chain + reproducible exploitation wins.
Lower severities?
Not under this $5K-flat critical playbook.
Critical chain + working exploit = $5,000
Document the attack, prove it lands, file privately.
