Some organization email queries is causing KeyError: 'people'

[juhkarh]

Hi, I found out there is 'feature' like this. Is some knowhow needed or just good old bug?

Input:

ghunt email <some organization | association>@gmail.com

Result:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/.local/bin/ghunt", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/root/.local/pipx/venvs/ghunt/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ghunt/ghunt.py", line 15, in main

    person_data = list(data["people"].values())[0]
KeyError: 'people'

OS:

• Docker container - base image python:3.10

I cannot give a email for testing.. OPSEC 😉

its a bug in the script, examine the code of the ghunt script to identify and fix the issue.

It might be possible that there was some authentication problems in background.

Did you guys find a fix for it? I am facing the same problem.

I haven't had time for this. But maybe someone can add some try..except logic around this person_data = list(data["people"].values())[0]. Its very error prone to make this kind of assumptions in code that is consuming external api.

{'error': {'code': 400, 'message': 'Request contains an invalid argument.', 'status': 'INVALID_ARGUMENT'}}

and the argument you must crop from the request is :

https://github.com/mxrch/GHunt/blob/7042aa0f4664b273e6f8748710c0b8d06890934c/ghunt/apis/peoplepa.py#L60 "GPLUS_ADDITIONAL_DATA"

[mxrch]

Google invalided the GPLUS_ADDITIONAL_DATA param, please pipx upgrade ghunt :)

[iKey-333]

Google invalided the GPLUS_ADDITIONAL_DATA param, please pipx upgrade ghunt :)

please tell me what this parameter was responsible for? What information are we now deprived of?

KeyError: 'people' This error was fixed in latest release. It was about changes at Google side.
