Unclaimed AWS S3 Bucket in xmind-zen.yml File Allows for Potential Takeover

[hackergandhi]

Summery:

An unclaimed AWS S3 bucket has been identified in the xmind-zen.yml file of the Electron apps repository. The bucket is publicly accessible and unclaimed, allowing an attacker to potentially take over the bucket. This could lead to a variety of security risks, including unauthorized access to stored data, serving malicious content, or impacting the functionality of dependent applications.

Description:

During the security testing of the Electron apps repository under the Internet Bug Bounty (IBB) program, I discovered an unclaimed AWS S3 bucket in the xmind-zen.yml file located at `https://github.com/electron/apps/' The bucket is referenced within the configuration file but is currently unclaimed, allowing a malicious actor to take control of it.

Impact:

1. Security Risks: An attacker could:
   Host malicious content on the bucket.
   Intercept and manipulate data being uploaded to or downloaded from the bucket.
   Disrupt dependent applications or services that rely on the bucket.
   Damage the reputation of the Electron project or associated applications.
