Where to report

The one public program CrowdSec runs.

Amounts are the top reward per severity in the currency each program pays. First response is the platform's measured average when it publishes one, else what the policy promises.

What is in scope

9 targets. 4 excluded.

  • https://www.crowdsec.net

    Web

  • Every bouncer the CrowdSec team maintains, covering the iptables and nftables firewall bouncers that apply blocking decisions with privilege, and the remediation components for nginx and Cloudflare

    Products and areas

  • Local configuration and credential handling on the host, including the files the agent and its bouncers read at startup

    Products and areas

  • The agent in full: log acquisition across every supported source, the parsers and scenarios that turn attacker-influenced lines into decisions, and the buckets and profiles behind them

    Products and areas

  • The AppSec component and its request handling end to end, from transfer encoding and HTTP version handling through to rule evaluation

    Products and areas

  • The Central API client and the consumption of shared blocklist data published by other participants

    Products and areas

  • The hub, and how the agent fetches, verifies and loads the parsers, scenarios and collections published there

    Products and areas

  • The Local API in full, including authentication, the machine and bouncer registration flow, and the decision and alert endpoints

    Products and areas

  • The policy covers the agent, the Local API, and the bouncers the CrowdSec team develops and maintains under the crowdsecurity organisation. Everything in that set is fair game; community-written bouncers sit outside it

    Products and areas

No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.

Out of scope 4

Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.

  • Anything outside the crowdsecurity organisation, including third-party integrations that call the Local API

  • Community-written bouncers, which the scope statement excludes by name, since only those the CrowdSec team develops and maintains are covered

  • False positives and false negatives in a scenario, which are detection-tuning matters rather than defects in the code

  • The commercial console as a hosted service, as distinct from the agent and API code that talk to it
