5. Reward Criteria

Rewards are determined based on the severity, impact, and complexity of the discovered vulnerability. The following categories outline the general reward structure:

• Critical Vulnerabilities: Issues that pose a high risk of full system compromise, large-scale data breaches, or significant harm to users.
• Reward: Up to $10,000 or more, depending on severity.
• High-Risk Vulnerabilities: Vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access to sensitive data or critical functions.
• Reward: Up to $5,000.
• Medium-Risk Vulnerabilities: Issues such as privilege escalation or bypassing authentication that present moderate risk.
• Reward: Up to $2,000.
• Low-Risk Vulnerabilities: Minor security issues such as misconfigurations or less severe flaws.
• Reward: Up to $500.

5.1 Non-Monetary Rewards

In addition to monetary rewards, participants may receive public recognition, such as inclusion in a Hall of Fame, or other non-monetary tokens of appreciation.
