Found a vulnerability?
If you would rather not deal with the vendor yourself, a BugRater analyst will submit it upstream on your behalf, with your explicit permission, and tell you what came back.
Ask BugRater to submit itPrivate. The report body is encrypted at rest; BugRater holds the key, so the analyst working it can read it. Every read is logged.
HackerOne’s own figures for this program, read from its public page, not reported by researchers and not part of the BugRater grade. Captured 24 Sep 2026.
What it pays, by severity
$112,100 paid to researchers in total, $1,000 of it in the last 90 days. Lifetime figure as HackerOne prints it: evidence this program has paid, not a promise about any one report.

Response targets it sets itself
A target the program declared, not a measurement of it being met.
Getting in the door
Open to submit. Nothing HackerOne publishes stands between a hunter and a first report here.
Over 33 days (18 snapshots): intake up 43 reports; response efficiency up 4 points; 90-day payout down $500.
