OpenAI raises Security Bug Bounty rewards and adds researcher bonus campaigns
OpenAI is increasing Security Bug Bounty rewards and adding report quality, loyalty and priority campaign bonuses for independent security researchers.
OpenAI is raising the rewards paid under its Security Bug Bounty program, the company said. It is also adding three campaign bonuses for independent security researchers who report vulnerabilities: report quality, loyalty and priority. The announcement does not give the new reward amounts, so the size of the increase cannot be judged from the post.
The post names the three bonuses but does not say what any of them requires. Without those criteria, a researcher cannot tell from the announcement which of their past or future reports would qualify.
The post is short. It omits the reward amounts and the exact criteria for each bonus, which are the details anyone deciding whether to submit reports would need.
Why it matters
Higher payouts and loyalty bonuses may draw more independent researchers to test OpenAI's systems, which bears on how firms that build on those platforms judge their exposure to security flaws.
What you can do
Check whether your own vulnerability disclosure program rewards high-quality reports and repeat researchers, and adjust it if not.
