Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Chipotle Managed Bug Bounty Engagement (via Bugcrowd)'s policy.

While testing

  • Perform testing using only accounts that are your own personal/test accounts or an account that you have the explicit permission from the account holder to utilize.
  • Exercise caution when testing to avoid negative impact to customers and the services they depend on.
  • Stop when unsure. If you think you may cause, or have caused, damage with testing a vulnerability, report your initial finding(s) and request authorization to continue testing.
  • If you can access or modify personal data of Chipotle customers or other sensitive data, immediately contact Chipotle - do not attempt to conduct post-exploitation work.

Description

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) is cultivating a better world by serving responsibly sourced, classically-cooked, real food with wholesome ingredients without artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Chipotle has over 3,250 restaurants in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Germany and is the only restaurant company of its size that owns and operates all its restaurants in North America and Europe. Chipotle is ranked on the Fortune 500 and is recognized on the 2023 list for Fortune's Most Admired Companies and Time Magazine's Most Influential Companies. With over 110,000 employees passionate about providing a great guest experience, Chipotle is a longtime leader and innovator in the food industry. Chipotle is committed to making its food more accessible to everyone while continuing to be a brand with a demonstrated purpose as it leads the way in digital, technology and sustainable business practices. For more information or to place an order online, visit www.chipotle.com. No technology is perfect and Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. believes that working with skilled security researchers across the globe is crucial in identifying weaknesses in any technology. We are excited for you to participate as a security researcher to help us identify vulnerabilities in our assets. Good luck, and happy hunting! Please note: Only Critical (P1), Severe (P2), Moderate (P3), Low (P4) submissions will be rewarded. P5 findings will be marked as Informational. Ratings/Rewards: For the initial prioritization/rating of findings, this program will use the Bugcrowd Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy . However, it is important to note that in some cases a vulnerability priority will be modified due to its likelihood or impact. In any instance where an issue is downgraded, a full, detailed explanation will be provided to the researcher - along with the opportunity to appeal, and make a case for a higher priority. We strive to pay bounty on "Triage" and will do so when there is high confidence in the accuracy of the assigned scope and severity. Occasionally, we may need to delay payment until we fully investigate the details of a report. All bounty amounts will be at the discretion of the Chipotle Bug Bounty team. Bounty-eligible findings with priority higher than P4, that include a unique Nuclei Template to validate the finding will be rewarded a $250 bonus payment. Vulnerabilities with existing community templates will not be eligible for the bonus payment. Chipotle retains a perpetual right to utilize and distribute any templates submitted as part of a report. Reports submitted using methods that violate policy rules will not be eligible for reward. Understand that there could be submissions for which we accept the risk, have other compensating controls, or will not address in the manner expected. Generating fraudulent Chipotle coupons or simply getting free meals, to "steal money from Chipotle" is typically not evaluated as a critical issue but may still be eligible for a bounty. You are more likely to receive a bounty by finding and demonstrating a security impact within the published scope rather than by submitting a bug that's outside of scope and trying to convince us why you believe it’s a security risk for Chipotle. Legal Chipotle reserves the right to modify terms and conditions of this program and your participation in the program constitutes acceptance of all terms. Please check this site regularly as we routinely update our program terms and eligibility, which are effective upon posting. We reserve the right to cancel this program at any time. Must be 18 or older to be eligible for an award. Chipotle is the program owner and all the information described in this “Program Overview” are “program details.” Together these program details and the terms constitute the “Program Brief” referenced in the SDT. You acknowledge and agree (i) that you are already bound to the terms and conditions stated in Bugcrowd’s Standard Disclosure Terms, which can be found at https://www.bugcrowd.com/resources/essentials/standard-disclosure-terms and (ii) that Chipotle may directly enforce any breach by you of the Standard Disclosure Terms, which are supplemented by the additional terms in this program. Program Eligibility You must agree and adhere to the Program Rules and Legal terms as stated in this policy. You must be the first to submit a sufficiently reproducible report for an issue to be eligible for a bounty. Chipotle employees and vendors are not eligible for participation in this program. Past Chipotle employees are subject to a 90-day exclusion cooldown on your participation in this program. We will not accept submissions from you until 90 days after you've left the company, to minimize conflicts of interest. You must be available to supply additional information, as needed by our team, to reproduce and triage the issue. Zero-day vulnerabilities will not be considered for eligibility until more than 30 days have passed since a fix is published. Out-of-scope vulnerability reports may be addressed as a form of vulnerability disclosure but will generally not be considered reward eligible. Program Rules Do Perform testing using only accounts that are your own personal/test accounts or an account that you have the explicit permission from the account holder to utilize. Exercise caution when testing to avoid negative impact to customers and the services they depend on. Stop when unsure. If you think you may cause, or have caused, damage with testing a vulnerability, report your initial finding(s) and request authorization to continue testing.

Do not change passwords of any account that is not yours or that you do not have explicit permission to change. If ever prompted to change a password, stop and report the finding immediately to the Program Owner. Do not publicly disclose vulnerability reports that are not resolved and approved for disclosure by Chipotle. Do not use, share, publish, or disclose information obtained while identifying issues.
