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. 5 excluded.

  • https://openvpn.net/community

    Web

  • Certificate, key and configuration handling, covering the option parser and everything the daemon reads from a config file, a pushed option or a peer certificate

    Products and areas

  • Reports go to the OpenVPN security address and cover the open-source community edition, the tree published at openvpn.net/community. Access Server and CloudConnexa are a separate proprietary product line

    Products and areas

  • Server-mode session handling as a whole, covering peer-ID and multi-instance state, where one hostile client can reach into another client's session

    Products and areas

  • The client side of the protocol, where a hostile or compromised server drives the daemon with attacker-chosen options and responses

    Products and areas

  • The data channel in full: OCC and PUSH_REPLY option parsing, packet-ID and replay handling, and --fragment and --mssfix reassembly

    Products and areas

  • The Data Channel Offload (DCO) kernel modules on Linux and Windows, and the netlink and ioctl boundary they expose to userspace

    Products and areas

  • The management interface and the plugin API, including openvpn-plugin-auth-pam and down-root

    Products and areas

  • The TLS control channel in full, including the tls-crypt and tls-crypt-v2 wrapping, historically the richest pre-authentication surface in the daemon

    Products and areas

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

Out of scope 5

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

  • easy-rsa, which is a separate repository with no funding pathway of its own

  • One-line fixes for non-exploitable crashes, which the Patch Rewards rules exclude, including crashes that come from resource exhaustion

  • OpenVPN Access Server and CloudConnexa, which are proprietary and sit outside the Patch Rewards scope row

  • Operator configuration mistakes such as a missing tls-auth or a deliberately weak cipher choice

  • Third-party GUI wrappers such as Tunnelblick and OpenVPN Connect, and distribution packaging
