Summary

Celebrating its third anniversary, the GitHub Bug Bounty Program is offering increased rewards for identifying severe bugs during January and February, with higher payouts corresponding to the severity of the bugs discovered. The program maintains its usual process, where hackers and security researchers report vulnerabilities through a responsible disclosure process, with bounties typically ranging from $500 to $10,000 USD, determined by the severity of the issues. In addition to the standard rewards, standout reports will receive bonus rewards and limited edition t-shirts, with the top 15 submitters of the most severe bugs eligible for these special prizes. The program now includes GitHub Enterprise, allowing researchers to seek out bugs within Enterprise as well, with promotional bounties available for significant discoveries. Participants can find more details on the GitHub bounty site, with the assurance that all valid submissions will receive standard bounties, ensuring everyone who contributes benefits from their efforts.
