We hacked the AWS JavaScript SDK, a core library powering the entire @AWScloud ecosystem - including the AWS Console itself 🤯

This is the story of #CodeBreach 🧵👇

When verifying if a @GitHub account could trigger a build, it didn’t check for specific account IDs - it matched against a regex filter 🤔
