Our promise to you

  • We will respond to report in ultimately five working days, probably faster!
  • We are happy to respond to any questions, please use the button in the right top corner for this.
  • We respect the safe harbour clause that you can find below

Your promise to us

  • Provide detailed but concise reproduction steps
  • Include a clear attack scenario. How will this affect us exactly?
  • Remember: quality over quantity!
  • Please do not discuss or post vulnerabilities without our consent (including PoC's on YouTube and Vimeo)
  • Please do not use automatic scanners! Be creative and do it yourself. We cannot accept any submissions found by using automatic scanners. Scanners also won't improve your skills, and can cause a high server load (we'd like to put our time in thanking researchers rather than blocking their IP's 😉)

  • Player to player communication can be intercepted or modified
  • In-Game resources can be reduced/multiplied for another specific player
Out of scope

Out of scope domains

General

  • Spam, social engineering and physical intrusion
  • DoS/DDoS attacks or brute force attacks.
  • Vulnerabilities that are limited to non-current browsers (older than 3 versions) will not be accepted
  • 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 30 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  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept
  • Using unreported vulnerabilities to find other bugs
  • Internal pivoting, scanning, exploiting

Everything which is not explicitly mentioned under "Targets" is currently out of scope. Additionally the following is out of scope:

  • The contact form at https://www.innogames.com/company/contact/

  • All publicly released software vulnerabilities without a vendor fix or a mitigation by the vendor

  • All of our other games

  • All applications/services that are not InnoGames-branded or developed/hosted externally

  • *.innogames.com domains which redirect you to a 3rd party service

If in doubt a whois on the IP should show you if it is an external service or at least run by InnoGames (InnoGames network is AS208058).

All apps, which are not mentioned in the scope, are considered Out-Of-Scope, this also applies for their connected backend services, even though they might be on an in-scope server. If a specific route is solely used by the app, it will be considered as Out-Of-Scope.

The following finding types are specifically excluded from the bounty:

  • API key disclosure without proven business impact
  • Pre-auth account takeover / oauth squatting

  • Missing cookie flags
  • Missing security headers

  • Reverse tabnabbing
  • Bypassing rate-limits or the non-existence of rate-limits.
  • Best practices violations (password complexity, expiration, re-use, etc.)
  • Clickjacking
  • Host header injection without proven business impact

  • Hyperlink injection/takeovers
  • Mixed content type issues

Severity assessment

Ratings and Rewards

In case a reported vulnerability is already known to the company from their own tests, it will be flagged as a duplicate.
For the initial prioritization/rating of findings, this program will use the CVSS classifications.

However, it is important to note that in some cases vulnerability priority will be modified due to its likelihood or impact.
In any instance where a submission is downgraded, a full, detailed explanation will be provided to the researcher along with the opportunity to appeal, and make a case for a higher priority.

FAQ

Where can we get credentials for the app?

For the games: You can self-register on the application but please don’t forget to use your @intigriti.me address.
For the internal services/admin tools there will be no credentials. Consider this a black-box test.

Premium Testing Credit - Currency (Diamonds)

Feel free to create as many accounts as you need in order to efficiently test the game ecosystem. Every registered account will receive an amount of 250.000 diamonds in order to facilitate testing of the premium parts of the game. If you need more, just let us know.

All aboard!
Please log in or sign up on the platform

For obvious reasons we can only allow submissions or applications for our program with a valid Intigriti account.

It will only take 2 minutes to create a new one or even less to log in with an existing account, so don't hesitate and let's get started. We would be thrilled to have you as part of our community.
