James Forshaw of Context Information Security uncovers wide-scale mitigation bypass technique     



From V3:

Forshaw previously uncovered design bugs in Internet Explorer 11 (IE11), so this new reward takes his earnings from Microsoft’s bounty programme to a total of $109,400. The majority of the award will go to Context, although Forshaw is likely to receive a sizeable bonus for carrying out the research.

Writing in a blog post Katie Moussouris, senior security strategist at Microsoft Security Response Center, said the firm would not be detailing the issue he had uncovered until it was addressed.
