Akto Bug Bounty Program:

We have currently stopped our Bug Bounty Program temporarily.

Akto is committed to the safety and security of users on Akto. To recognize the importance of independent security researchers in keeping Akto safe, we offer the following bug bounty program to reward the reporting of certain qualifying security vulnerabilities. Please make sure you review the following information before you report a vulnerability. By participating in this program, you agree to be bound by the following information.

We encourage anyone to report security issues to security@akto.io.

Program Rules:

  • Our rewards are based on the impact of a vulnerability and how we classify the severity of bugs. For more details, please see Issue Severity below.

  • When duplicates occur, we award the first report that we can completely reproduce.

  • Multiple vulnerabilities caused by one underlying issue will be awarded one bounty.

  • The amounts below are the maximum we will pay per category. We aim to be fair, but all reward amounts are at our discretion.

  • 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 bounty.

  • We welcome your feedback to continue improving our bug bounty program.

Rewards:

  • P1: $500

  • P2: $300

  • P3: $150

  • P4: Swag

  • P5: NA

As stated in the program policy, the amounts set here are the maximum we will pay per category. We aim to be fair, but all reward amounts are at our discretion.
