Rules
What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Utrecht University's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.
While testing
-
Do not take advantage of the vulnerability or problem you have discovered, for example by downloading more data than necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability or deleting or modifying any data.
-
Do not reveal the problem to others until it has been resolved.
-
Do not use attacks on physical security, social engineering, (distributed) denial of service or spam. Do not attack third-party applications.
-
Do not use automated tools to run large-scale tests on our websites and applications.
-
Provide sufficient information for us to reproduce the problem, so we will be able to resolve it as quickly as possible.
