Bug Bounties

About

What is this?

Bug Bounties is an open-source directory of 2,966 bug bounty and responsible disclosure programs. The aim, is to help security researchers quickly find companies that welcome vulnerability reports, as well as augmenting listing with essential info like scopes, rewards, contact details, known issues, and more.

How is data collected?

Program data is aggregated from multiple public sources, which is fetched, processed and verified nightly. As well as user-submitted programs, we also fetch from HackerOne, BugCrowd, Intigriti, YesWeHack, Federacy, Disclose.io among other sources.

Platform-managed programs are stored in platform-programs.yml, while independently-run programs are in independent-programs.yml. Both files are available in our GitHub repository.

Adding a Program

If your bounty program is not listed on any of the platforms which we auto-aggregate, you can submit it as an independent program. Fork the repository, add your program to independent-programs.yml, and open a pull request. Required fields are company and url. Optional fields include contact, rewards, safe_harbor, scope, payout_table, excluded_methods, description, and more. See the full field reference in the README.

Alternatively, you can just use this form, and we will add your bounty program automatically.

Contributing

Start by clone the repo with git clone [email protected]:Lissy93/bug-bounties.git && cd bug-bounties
You will need Python (v3.12+) installed for the scripts, as well as Node.js (v24+) for the website.

To run the data gathering and processing scripts:

  1. make install - Setup environment and install dependencies (from requirements.txt)
  2. make populate - Fetch the latest directory of programs, format, and write to platform-programs.yml
  3. make validate - Verify and validate the platform-programs.yml and independent-programs.yml files against the schema.json
  4. make readme - Generate and insert a summarized list of programs into the README.md

To develop and build the website:

  1. cd web to navigate into the web/ directory
  2. npm i to install dependencies
  3. npm run dev to start the development server
  4. npm run build to build the production site

If you'd like to deploy/self-host your own version or fork of bug-bounties, you have several options:

  • Option #1: Upload the content of web/dist/ into any web server, static hosting provider or CDN.
  • Option #2: Import the project into a static hosting provider (like Vercel, Netlify, etc), where it will be auto-build and published
  • Option #3: For Docker, run docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/lissy93/bug-bounties:latest

Responsible disclosure

If you find a vulnerability in one of these programs, always follow their specific disclosure policy. General guidance:

  • Read the program's rules before testing
  • Only test on systems you are authorized to test
  • Do not access, modify, or delete user data
  • Report vulnerabilities promptly and provide enough detail to reproduce
  • Give the company reasonable time to fix before any public disclosure
