In a breakthrough discovery, a group of cyber sleuths uncovered a critical exploit within TryHackMe’s platform. The vulnerability, nicknamed "Ghost Protocol," allowed unauthorized access by bypassing key security layers, undetected by the system. The sleuths found the flaw while solving a routine challenge, gaining root access without triggering alarms. TryHackMe quickly patched the exploit and praised the team for their responsible disclosure. Experts warn that this highlights the ongoing need for vigilant cybersecurity across platforms.
