In the final quarter of 2017, Bugcrowd engineers identified areas where submission data was not correctly updating. They resolved issues with duplicate submissions and corrected kudos point values for non-duplicate submissions. The changes ensure that updated information from original reports is accurately reflected in subsequent submissions, including VRT categorization, CVSS scores, and target priorities. Bugcrowd has maintained transparency throughout the process, contacting affected researchers before making any adjustments to their kudos points. The company continues to value transparency and encourages users to reach out with questions or follow them on social media for updates.
