About
ownCloud
We created the ownCloud Security Bug Bounty Program to reward security researchers for finding issues in the ownCloud Server, and in so doing help strengthen ownCloud Server for customers, users and the community.
Program Rules
Testing Policy and Responsible Disclosure
Please adhere to the following rules while performing research on this program:
- Denial of service (DoS) attacks on ownCloud 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, manipulate, or destroy any user data or files in any of our applications/servers.
- Do not copy any files from our applications/servers and disclose them.
- 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 ownCloud, 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 (see below).
- 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 ownCloud, 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 ownCloud or one of its contractors.
Reward amounts are based on:
- Reward grid of the report's scope
- CVSS scoring and actual business impact of the vulnerability upon performing risk analysis
If the bug is identified as meaningful and qualifies for the program, and the reporter has followed the Disclosure Policy, the bug bounty is paid out on the following schedule by bug severity:
| Impact | Definition | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Gaining remote code execution on the server as a non-admin user. (i.e. RCE) | $3000 - $5000 |
| High | Gaining access to complete user data of any other user. (i.e. Auth Bypass) or SQL Injection with critical effects | $1000 - $3000 |
| Medium | Allowing the adversary to gain complete control over a single user session. (Stored XSS with CSP bypass / Critical CSRF / …) | $500 - $1000 |
| Low | Vulnerabilities that can only be exploited in very rare cases or have marginal impact. (High amount of unlikely user interaction / …) | $50 - $500 |
The severity of the bug is determined at the discretion of ownCloud and the ownCloud security team.
All bounties will be paid using YesWeHack platform.
