Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from MyBB Group's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • You should not test, demonstrate or exploit the vulnerability on any active MyBB installations not created to test such vulnerabilities nor the MyBB Project infrastructure or its resources
  • we recommend using a local copy
  • Generated content (from LLMs, AI assistants, or similar tools) must be reviewed and disclosed
  • no live installations, infrastructure, or resources are tested or exploited without explicit permission of their owners
  • no details regarding the vulnerability are published before it has been addressed

Not accepted

  • vulnerabilities within third party extensions do not count
  • techniques such as social engineering or phishing do not count
  • disclosure of operational information included in PHP or SQL errors, spam attacks, bypassing CAPTCHAs, etc. do not count
  • vulnerabilities within development releases or older versions do not count
