Zapier Patched a Five-Flaw Chain That Could Have Compromised Millions of Accounts

Security firm Token Security discovered five chained vulnerabilities in Zapier that, together, could have let an attacker take over millions of user accounts — starting with nothing more than a free account.

The attack path ran from a code-writing feature through discarded credentials, into an internal storage system holding over 1,100 private software images. One image contained a publishing key for code running inside every logged-in user's browser — meaning a bad actor could have quietly hijacked automations across Zapier's 8,000+ integrations.

Researchers reported the flaws in February. Zapier triaged within four days, patched within three weeks, and paid the $3,000 maximum bounty. No exploitation was detected.
