Last Updated at: Jan 04, 2026

 

Welcome to TheBenefactor.net Bug Bounty (Report & Earn Program).
By submitting a report, you agree to follow responsible disclosure and ethical testing practices.


Responsible Disclosure (IMPORTANT)

By participating, you agree to the following:

Report vulnerabilities privately to us first using the Report & Earn system.

Do not publish, share, or disclose any vulnerability publicly until we have reviewed and fixed it.

Allow us reasonable time to remediate issues, typically up to 90 days, depending on severity and complexity.

Do not exploit vulnerabilities beyond what is strictly necessary to demonstrate the issue.

Do not access, view, modify, or delete other users’ data at any time.

Do not disrupt services, degrade performance, or impact real users.

Do not perform denial-of-service (DoS), spam, or automated attacks.

Failure to follow responsible disclosure may result in report rejection and loss of rewards.
