Out of scope

General

When reporting vulnerabilities, please consider (1) attack scenario / exploitability, and (2) security impact of the bug. The following issues are considered out of scope:

  • Previously known vulnerable libraries without a working Proof of Concept.
  • Denial of Service by flooding the ECU with bus messages or other inputs.
  • Software version disclosure / Banner identification issues.
  • Public Zero-day vulnerabilities that have had an official patch for less than 1 month will be awarded on a case by case basis.

Duplicates

Vulnerabilities that were already known to the BMW Group through our own testing will be flagged as duplicate.
Vulnerabilities that were already reported to the BMW Group will be flagged as duplicate.

During our transitional phase:

For vulnerabilities that have already been reported via our old program at HackerOne but have not yet been resolved, no new bounties will be paid out. These cases are examined individually by the triage team and us and, if applicable, will be closed with a corresponding notice.
This problem will only exist during a transitional period.
