Bounties

This is a responsible disclosure program without bounties.

While we do not offer rewards for reported security vulnerabilities, we greatly appreciate your contribution to the security of our systems. As a token of our appreciation for your reports, we offer financial recognition in certain cases, such as for reporting high-severity security vulnerabilities, well-written reports, or innovative exploitation techniques.

If a security vulnerability also falls within the scope of one of our private programs, we will grant a bonus equal to the bounty amount to ensure fair compensation for your efforts.

General

  • Since we use various automatic scanners for vulnerability management and gain those results as part of regular business, we cannot accept any submissions found by using automatic scanners.
  • 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  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept
  • Multiple vulnerabilities caused by one underlying issue will be awarded one bounty
Severity assessment

This program follows Intigriti's triage standards based on the proof of concept.
