Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Host Africa (Pty) Ltd's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • Send X-BBP-Researcher: <your-handle> where you can, and test from a stable source IP you disclose to us.
  • Maximum 10 requests per second against any host.
  • Access the minimum data needed to prove the finding. Do not modify or delete anything.
  • No persistent access - no webshells, backdoors or held-open shells. No pivoting. No degrading service.
  • Never: denial-of-service, volumetric, stress or brute-force testing; social engineering, phishing or pretexting against our staff, contractors or customers
  • Accessing an account you do not control is never authorised
  • If you encounter personal information: stop, do not retain a copy, and tell us the same day
  • Leaked credentials: if you find our credentials or keys exposed, email us - do not test whether they work.
  • Keep details private until we ship a fix, and coordinate timing with us.

Not accepted

  • Scanner output without demonstrated impact
  • missing headers or cookie flags and best-practice advice without a working exploit
  • TLS/SSL configuration, weak ciphers, certificate issues
  • DNS configuration, missing SPF/DMARC/DKIM, subdomain enumeration without demonstrated takeover
  • open ports and version disclosure
  • clickjacking on pages with no sensitive action
  • self-XSS and XSS needing unrealistic interaction
  • logout CSRF and CSRF on non-sensitive actions
  • open redirects unless you show loss of a session token or personal data
  • user or email enumeration on customer-facing systems
  • password policy complaints and email validation quirks
  • rate limiting without demonstrated impact
  • third-party libraries with no demonstrated impact on us (a CVE number is not a finding)
  • anything needing a compromised device, stolen credential or obsolete browser
  • abuse, spam or phishing hosted by a customer ( [email protected] )
  • theoretical findings with no plausible attack path
