Public programs are open to all Researchers but you must receive an invitation to participate in private programs. Also, private programs often have additional requirements that define the types of Researchers who may qualify for participation, including but not limited to geographical restrictions (for app/service availability), trust (like identity verification) or specific skill competency (Binary, Code Review, IoT, and so on). Each program’s brief includes it’s specific disclosure policy and rules that you must follow.
We strive to standardize bounty briefs to limit the time required to get started; the bounty brief always mentions unusual requirements that you are expected to follow during your testing. Hence, make sure that you always read the complete brief before starting the test and agree that you have followed all requirements of the bounty brief before you report any submission.
Check before you submit Out Of Scope!: Testing anything outside of the explicitly approved scope without at least first checking with Bugcrowd Support carries the risk of a submission being marked Out-of-Scope and may result in additional disciplinary actions. For assistance, submit a support ticket through the Bugcrowd Support Portal.
