Zapier fixes five-bug vulnerability chain that could have enabled widespread account takeover
By
Greg Otto
Not artisan, but a perfectly fine bagel. Hits the spot.
Summary
Security researchers at Token Security discovered a chain of five vulnerabilities in Zapier, a popular workflow automation service. The flaws could have allowed attackers with a free Zapier account to gain access to millions of user accounts and connected systems without malware or insider access. Each individual weakness appeared routine, but chained together they created a critical path to account takeover and supply-chain access. Zapier has since fixed the vulnerabilities.
