Program Rules

Testing Policy, Responsible Disclosure

Please adhere to the following rules while performing research on this program:

  • Make sure to apply hunting requirements policy, specifically User-Agent, so that our teams know the detected activity is related to this program. If not, you might be blocked from our assets due to our security protocols.
  • Denial of service (DoS) attacks on BookBeat applications, servers, networks or infrastructure are strictly forbidden.
  • Avoid tests that could cause degradation or interruption of our services.
  • Do not use automated scanners or tools that generate large amount of network traffic
  • Do not leak, copy, manipulate, or destroy any user data or files in any of our applications/servers.
  • No vulnerability disclosure, full, partial or otherwise, is allowed.

Reward Eligibility

We are happy to thank everyone who submits valid reports which help us improve the security of BookBeat, however only those that meet the following eligibility requirements may receive a monetary reward:

  • You must be the first reporter of a vulnerability.
  • The vulnerability must be a qualifying vulnerability
  • The report must contain the following elements:
    • Clear textual description of the vulnerability, how it can be exploited, the security impact it has on the application, its users and BookBeat, and remediation advice on fixing the vulnerability
    • Proof of exploitation: screenshots demonstrating the exploit was performed, and showing the final impact
    • Provide complete steps with the necessary information to reproduce the exploit, including (if necessary) code snippets, payloads, commands etc
  • You must not break any of the testing policy rules listed above
  • You must not be a former or current employee of BookBeat or one of its contractors.
