The Microsoft-backed platform has launched its Bug Bounty Program on BugCrowd. Many Security researchers have already found some vulnerabilities on ChatGPT, and we’re posting them now and then.

However, it is now an excellent opportunity for security professionals to report their bugs and get rewarded for their work.

Their rewards are below as per their Bug bounty program and the VRT (Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy) of Bugcrowd.

  • P4 – $200 – $500
  • P3 – $500 – $1000
  • P2 – $1000 – $2000
  • P1 – $2000 – $6500

The program also mentioned that the reward can go up to a maximum of $20,000, making it a huge reward for critical bugs. So far, 14 Vulnerabilities have been reported on the program.

Scope of the Program

The following applications are in scope.
