  • Spam of any kind
  • Denial of service attacks
  • Issues already known by us or previously reported to us by others
  • Issues that we have determined to be of acceptable risk

Submissions containing issues related to the above list of exclusions will not be eligible for reward. If you have found a vulnerability that is excluded by our program, you may still report it as part of our vulnerability disclosure program.

Act responsibly

The rules of responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Avoid accessing, exploiting, or exposing any customer data other than your own.
  • Avoid any action that may cause a degradation of our services
  • Do not use any social engineering techniques
  • When methods are used that do not comply with your local law and/or the above-mentioned responsibility rules, enforcement authorities will be notified

Reproducibility

Our security team and engineers must be able to reproduce the reported security flaw. Make sure your report is clearly written and includes all the necessary information so we can reproduce the flaw. Please include:

  • Type of vulnerability
  • When applicable, include the URL
  • The potential impact of the vulnerability
  • Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue, including any proof-of-concept or exploit code to reproduce
  • Screenshots and/or videos illustrating the vulnerability

Definition of a Vulnerability

To be eligible for a reward, your finding must be considered valid by the Bright Security security team.

Reward

We base all payouts on impact and will reward accordingly. Please emphasize the impact as part of your submission.

We are particularly interested in:

  • Major exposures around customer data leak
  • Issues that result in full compromise of a system
  • Business logic bypasses resulting in significant impact
  • Major operational failure (excluding Denial of Service related submissions)

Keep in mind:

  • Only one bounty will be awarded per vulnerability
  • If we receive multiple reports for the same vulnerability, only the person offering the first clear report will receive a reward.
  • Our reward system is flexible. We have no minimum or maximum amounts as rewards are based on severity, impact, and report quality.
  • Vulnerabilities affecting our platform or platform-related plugins typically have a higher impact.
