Rules
What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Election Assistance Commission's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.
While testing
-
Notify us as soon as possible after you discover a real or potential security issue.
-
Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction or manipulation of data.
-
Only use exploits to the extent necessary to confirm a vulnerability’s presence.
-
Do not use an exploit to compromise or exfiltrate data, establish command line access and/or persistence, or use the exploit to pivot to other systems.
-
Once you have established that a vulnerability exists, you must stop your test and notify us immediately.
-
Provide us a reasonable amount of time, at least 45 days, before you disclose it publicly.
-
Do not submit a high volume of low-quality reports such as user interface issues or typos.
-
Network denial of service (DoS or DDoS) tests or other tests that impair access to or damage a system or data.
-
Physical testing (e.g., office access, open doors, tailgating), social engineering (e.g., phishing, vishing), or any other non-technical vulnerability testing.
