March 2014 Summaries

Bugcrowd's submission evaluation process aims to maintain fairness and transparency by differentiating between technical validity and rewardability, considering factors such as impact, security, and communication with researchers. The process involves evaluating each submission against specific criteria, including whether it is a security issue, adheres to terms and conditions, and has been previously reported or communicated as an exception. Researchers' effort and impact on the organization are also considered in determining rewardability. The process encourages transparency, proactive communication, and collaboration with researchers, ultimately guiding judgment towards rewarding submissions that meet specific criteria.
