Description

Welcome to the Dropbox Bug Bounty program — where your curiosity helps keep millions of users safe. At Dropbox, we take security seriously, and we know the best defenses are built with input from the wider security community. Whether you're diving into our apps, APIs, or backend systems, your expertise plays a critical role in protecting the data people trust us with every day. We reward creativity, precision, and clear reporting — and we’re here to support you along the way. Be sure to check out our scope, rules, and submission guidelines before getting started. Let’s work together to make Dropbox even more secure — one bug at a time.

Rules of engagement

By participating in this program, you agree to:

  • Respect the Community Code of Conduct
  • Respect the Intigriti Terms and Conditions
  • You may not participate in this program if you are ordinarily resident in, or located in, any country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, or if you are an individual or entity identified on any applicable sanctions list (including those administered by the US, the EU, the UN, or the UK's OFSI).
  • Respect the scope of the program
  • Not discuss or disclose vulnerability information without prior written consent (including PoC's on YouTube and Vimeo)

Report Eligibility

Only reports that meet the following requirements are eligible to receive a monetary reward:

  • You must be the first reporter of the vulnerability
  • Sometimes, more than one researcher finds and reports the same issue while we are remediating. The bounty will not be split among duplicate reports.
  • Issues found in alpha or beta products may be rewarded at lower levels due to much lower customer impact
  • Issues that are the same root cause but are reported separately to describe attacks via different vectors may be treated as duplicate submissions.
  • Reports that demonstrate a bypass of a mitigation for a security issue will be handled on a case-by-case basis
  • Inquire about performing limited-scope targeted penetration tests if you have written a tool or found a technique to uncover the same issue on multiple endpoints, or different attack vectors or variants with the same root cause.
  • The vulnerability must demonstrate security impact to a site or application in scope (see above)
  • You must not have compromised the privacy of our users or otherwise violated the Dropbox Rules
  • You must not have publicly disclosed the vulnerability prior to the report being closed and permission to disclose granted by the Dropbox team
  • We must not be legally prohibited from rewarding you
  • When researching security issues, especially those which may compromise the privacy of others, you must use test accounts in order to respect our users’ privacy. Accessing private information of other users, performing actions that may negatively affect Dropbox users (e.g., spam, denial of service), or sending reports from automated tools without verifying them will immediately disqualify the report, and may result in additional steps being taken.

RCE reports should provide the following additional information:

  • Timestamp
  • IP Address
  • Command and Control Infrastructure used
  • Timeline

If the RCE was authenticated please also provide:

  • Email address (Please make sure to use your intigriti.me email alias when registering an account)
  • Session ID

You must comply with all applicable laws in connection with your participation in this program. You are also responsible for any applicable taxes associated with any reward you receive.

We may modify the terms of this program or terminate this program at any time. We won’t apply any changes we make to these program terms retroactively.


Validation times

We will validate all submissions within the below timelines, once your submission has been verified by Intigriti. Submissions validated outside of this may be awarded a $25 bonus.

Vulnerability Severity Time to validate
Exceptional 2 Working days
Critical 2 Working days
High 5 Working days
Medium 15 Working days
Low 15 Working days

This remains at the discretion of Dropbox to award.

  • Any report about DLL hijacking without demonstrating how it gains new privileges is also out of scope
  • We will only accept critical reports in blog.dropbox.com (e.g., RCE). Minor issues that can't impact Dropbox users are out of scope
  • Ability to share links without verifying email
  • Reflected File Download vulnerabilities or any vulnerabilities that let you start a download to the user's computer are out of scope

  • Phishing risk via Unicode/Punycode or RTLO issues
  • Being able to upload files with wrong extension in chooser
  • Editable GitHub wikis
  • 3rd Party Integrations not owned by Dropbox (i.e. Intercom Chat feature)
  • Demo sites and scripts (i.e. apidemos.hellosign.com)

  • Disclosed/misconfigured Google Maps API keys
  • Host header injection without proven impact
  • Reports demonstrating issues with business-only impact (e.g., coupon misuse, discount abuse, or non-security functionality of paid services) are welcome and appreciated; however, they do not qualify as security vulnerabilities. These submissions may receive a low-severity bounty only if Dropbox decides to implement a fix.

General

  • In case that a reported vulnerability was already known to the company from their own tests, it will be flagged as a duplicate
  • Theoretical security issues with no realistic exploit scenario(s) or attack surfaces, or issues that would require complex end user interactions to be exploited
  • Spam, social engineering, and physical intrusion
  • DoS/DDoS attacks or brute force attacks
  • Vulnerabilities that only work on software that no longer receive security updates
  • Attacks requiring physical access to a victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts
  • Recently discovered zero-day vulnerabilities found in in-scope assets within 14 days after the public release of a patch or mitigation may be reported, but are usually not eligible for a bounty
  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept

Mobile

  • Shared links leaked through the system clipboard
  • Any URIs leaked because a malicious app has permission to view URIs opened
  • The absence of certificate pinning
  • Sensitive data in URLs/request bodies when protected by TLS
  • Lack of obfuscation
  • Path disclosure in the binary
  • Lack of jailbreak & root detection
  • Crashes due to malformed URL Schemes
  • Lack of binary protection (anti-debugging) controls, mobile SSL pinning
  • Snapshot/Pasteboard leakage
  • Runtime hacking exploits (exploits only possible in a jailbroken environment)
  • API key leakage used for insensitive activities/actions

Severity

This program follows Intigriti's triage standards based on the proof of concept.

How we determine final severity We use CVSS as a starting point for evaluating a vulnerability. However, the final severity also factors in likelihood and the broader security impact. Since CVSS does not capture these considerations well on its own, we adjust accordingly.

FAQ
