In the landscape of software security, the spotlight often shines on high-profile operating systems and applications. Among these, Bash, the Bourne Again SHell, stands out. It's not just any program, but a fundamental part of many Linux systems, acting as the default command-line shell and scripting language. Given its critical role and widespread use, ensuring Bash's security is paramount. This is where the concept of bug bounties comes vigorously into play, providing an innovative approach to enhancing open-source security. Bug bounties are rewards offered by organizations, and sometimes open-source communities, to individuals who discover and report bugs, especially those related to security vulnerabilities.
