Submission Details and Activity Stream

The Submission details and Activity stream displays the information for the submission you have selected. You can review the Submission details to learn what the bug is and how the researcher discovered it. Below Submission details, the Activity feed includes messages and historical events for the submission.

You can switch the order of a Submission’s Activity stream by using the Newest first or Oldest first buttons located to the right of the “Activity” title.

Add Reward

You can reward a researcher at any point in the submission process. However, it is recommended that you reward researchers when you change a submission status from “Triaged” to “Unresolved”. At this point, you have indicated internally that the submission is valid and needs to be fixed, which means that the researcher’s job of finding the vulnerability is done and they should be rewarded for their work.
