By participating in this program, you agree to:

  • Respect the Community Code of Conduct
    • Please pay particular attention to this part:
      "Do not execute intrusive commands within production environments
      Invasive queries and commands should be limited to the absolute minimum necessary to prove their impact. For example, using simple tests such as a "hello world" message, checking the database version, or retrieving the database name. Commands such as phpinfo(), which may reveal sensitive data, variables, or keys, are discouraged and only allowed when absolutely required. Additionally, no write operations or data manipulation should be performed without explicit permission from the platform administrators. Participants must prioritize the integrity, security, and privacy of all systems and data."
  • Respect the Intigriti Terms and Conditions
    • Please pay particular attention to this part:
      "14.3. You must use all reasonable endeavors to prevent and mitigate potential damages to Companies, Intigriti or any third party, and in particular to Assets and other computer systems and/or data. Without being restrictive, this implies that you must take precautions to ensure that no data is altered, lost or corrupted and to avoid service interruption, hardware or software damage or system failure."
  • Respect the scope of the program
  • Not discuss or disclose vulnerability information without prior written consent (including PoC's on YouTube and Vimeo)

General

  • In case that a reported vulnerability was already known to the company from their own tests, it will be flagged as a duplicate
  • Theoretical security issues with no realistic exploit scenario(s) or attack surfaces, or issues that would require complex end user interactions to be exploited
  • Spam, social engineering and physical intrusion
  • DoS/DDoS attacks or brute force attacks
  • Vulnerabilities that only work on software that no longer receive security updates
  • Attacks requiring physical access to a victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts
  • Recently discovered zero-day vulnerabilities found in in-scope assets within 14 days after the public release of a patch or mitigation may be reported, but are usually not eligible for a bounty
  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept
Severity assessment

This program follows Intigriti's contextual CVSS standard
