Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Aptos Function Values (via HackenProof)'s policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • Avoid any testing on live systems serving mainnet, testnet or devnet; all testing must be done locally
  • Report any vulnerability within 24 hours from discovery
  • Avoid disrupting our systems, destroying data, and/or harming users
  • Only use this platform to report and discuss vulnerability information with us
  • Provide us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue
  • Not engage in extortion
  • Do not discuss or disclose any vulnerabilities, even resolved ones, outside of this Program without the Aptos Foundation’s written consent

Not accepted

  • API/Indexer issues
  • GAS charge issues (if not escaleted to a VM DOS)
  • Variations in gas charges
  • Vulnerabilities based on social engineering or network Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are considered out of scope

The Aptos Foundation ("Aptos", "we", or "us") welcomes feedback from security researchers and the general public to help improve the security of the new Move on Aptos Compiler, and, at its sole discretion, offers bounty rewards ("Rewards") for security reports that identify previously unknown, in-scope security vulnerabilities. Aptos Foundation retains sole discretion to determine the amount of any Reward.

Out of Scope The following are not eligible for this program: API/Indexer issues; GAS charge issues (if not escaleted to a VM DOS); Variations in gas charges.

If there is any inconsistency or conflict between these Rules and any other applicable terms, the applicable terms of these Rules will prevail; Submit an in-scope vulnerability as detailed above; Include detailed information and clear steps to reproduce the issue. Vulnerabilities must be reproducible using the code currently in scope for the Program, based on the current mainnet configuration, and must affect features that are either enabled or are set to be enabled via a governance proposal; Avoid any testing on live systems serving mainnet, testnet or devnet; all testing must be done locally; Report any vulnerability within 24 hours from discovery; Avoid disrupting our systems, destroying data, and/or harming users; Only use this platform to report and discuss vulnerability information with us; Provide us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue; Limit the data you access to the minimum required to effectively demonstrate a Proof of Concept in circumstances where a vulnerability provides unintended access to private data or secrets; Vulnerabilities based on social engineering or network Denial of Service (DoS) attacks are considered out of scope and are not eligible for Rewards under this program; Not engage in extortion. Duplicate Reports Rewards for duplicate reports will be split among reporters with first to report taking priority using the following equation: R: total reports ri: report priority bi: bounty share bi = 2 ^ (R - ri) / ((2 ^ R) - 1) Where report priority derives from the set of integers beginning at 1, where the first reporter has ri = 1, the second reporter ri = 2, and so forth. Note, reports that come in after the issue has been fully triaged and resolved will not be eligible for a Reward..
