Bounty Policy

The classification of a vulnerability (Critical, High, Moderate or Low as described below), whether a product or application is in scope of the bounty program and its classification (core, important, and other in-scope), and whether to grant a monetary reward and its amount will be within the sole discretion of the Tencent Security Team, based on a number of factors including, without limitation, quality of the report, severity of the vulnerability, reproducibility of the vulnerability, its impact on our users and other products and services, ease of exploitation and many other factors.

Any design or implementation issue regarding any qualifying product that is reproducible and substantially affects the security of Tencent users is likely to be in scope for the program.

However, reports and researchers must meet the following requirements to be eligible to receive a monetary reward:

• You must be above the age of 13. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction where you are considered a minor), your parent or guardian must agree to the Agreement (both for themselves and on your behalf) before you can submit reports.
• You must be the first reporter of the vulnerability (whether you are the first reporter is determined by us in our discretion and we are not obligated to share with you details related to prior reports).
• Your report must be your own work, and you have not used information owned by another person or entity.
• Please provide detailed reports with reproducible steps. If the report is not detailed enough to reproduce the issue, the issue will not be eligible for a reward.
• Submit one vulnerability per report, unless you need to chain vulnerabilities to provide impact.
• Multiple vulnerabilities caused by one underlying issue will be awarded one bounty.
• The vulnerability must demonstrate security impact to a site or application in scope (see Scope below)
• Accessing private information of other users, performing actions that may negatively affect Tencent users (e.g., spam, denial of service), or sending reports from automated tools without verifying them will immediately disqualify the report, and may result in additional steps being taken. You must comply with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable privacy laws, with respect to your disclosure and access of data.
• When testing, you must only use and only interact with your own test accounts in order to respect our users’ privacy, especially those which may compromise the privacy of others. You will not interact with another user’s account without that user’s prior written consent (which you will make available to us upon our request).
• Vulnerability Disclosure:
• It is strictly forbidden to publicly disclose the vulnerability prior to the report being closed by us, the vulnerability being fixed and you receiving a written authorization from us.
• The disclosure and the content of the disclosure should be under the authorization of TSRC. Please take note that any form of vulnerability disclosure prior to consent from Tencent may result in disqualification from the Bounty program.
• Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
• We are prohibited from rewarding you (such as when you are subject to trade sanctions, embargoes or denied person status).We are unable to issue rewards to individuals employed by Tencent or its subsidiaries.

You grant Tencent a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, transferable, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to copy, reproduce, use, modify, test, create derivative works (including commercial products) based upon, distribute, publish, display and otherwise exploit your reports and other information you provide to us under this Agreement.
