Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Gridex Protocol: Hacker House 2023 (via HackenProof)'s policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • Avoid using web application scanners for automatic vulnerability searching which generates massive traffic
  • Make every effort not to damage or restrict the availability of products, services, or infrastructure
  • Don’t access or modify other user data, localize all tests to your accounts
  • Perform testing only within the scope
  • Don’t exploit any DoS/DDoS vulnerabilities, social engineering attacks, or spam
  • In case you find chain vulnerabilities we’ll pay only for vulnerability with the highest severity.
  • Any details of found vulnerabilities must not be communicated to anyone who is not a HackenProof Team or an authorized employee of this Company without appropriate permission
  • Any vulnerability found must be reported no later than 24 hours after discovery and exclusively through hackenproof.com
  • ONLY USE YOUR HackerProof ADDRESS (in case of violation, no bounty can be awarded)

Not accepted

  • Vulnerabilities in third-party applications
  • Assets that do not belong to the company
  • Best practices concerns
  • Recently (less than 30 days) disclosed 0day vulnerabilities
  • Vulnerabilities affecting users of outdated browsers or platforms
  • Social engineering, phishing, physical, or other fraud activities
  • Publicly accessible login panels without proof of exploitation
  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof of concept
  • Reports that generated by scanners or any automated or active exploit tools
  • Vulnerabilities involving active content such as web browser add-ons
  • Most brute-forcing issues without clear impact
  • Denial of service (DoS/DDoS)
  • Theoretical issues
  • Moderately Sensitive Information Disclosure
  • Spam (sms, email, etc)
  • Missing HTTP security headers
  • Open redirects
  • Session fixation
  • User account enumeration
  • Clickjacking/Tapjacking and issues only exploitable through clickjacking/tap jacking
  • Self-XSS that cannot be used to exploit other users
  • Login & Logout CSRF
  • Weak Captcha/Captcha Bypass
  • Lack of Secure and HTTPOnly cookie flags
  • Gas optimizations
