If the offer contained a backdoor, it likely exploited a vulnerability in the application layer rather than the backend, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or exfiltrate data during the hiring process. This suggests a sophisticated supply chain attack where the malicious payload was embedded directly into the communication channel, bypassing standard endpoint protections.
