Why we're reducing the time to payout and launching a bug bounty anniversary contest

In the nine months since GitLab's bug bounty program went public, external security researchers have significantly enhanced the platform's security by submitting 1,016 reports and earning $395,000 in bounties. To improve the program further, GitLab has implemented a faster payout process, beginning with a partial bounty distributed when a report is triaged, with the balance paid upon resolution. This iterative approach aims to expedite payments and encourage ongoing community feedback. GitLab also values the contributions of repeat reporters, acknowledging their efforts at events like the HackerOne H1-702. To celebrate its first anniversary, GitLab is hosting a hacking contest from October 1 to November 30, 2019, with rewards for categories such as most reputation points, best-written report, and most innovative report, with the winners announced on December 12. The event underscores GitLab's commitment to collaboration and the idea that everyone can contribute to strengthening its security ecosystem.
