GitHub Restructures Bug Bounty Program to Improve Researcher Experience

We are making significant changes to the GitHub bug bounty program to better support the security research community. For over a decade, researchers have helped us find and fix vulnerabilities, and we are committed to being a program worth their time. Today, we are sharing meaningful updates designed to enhance how researchers work with our team and ensure a smoother collaboration experience.

The security research community makes GitHub safer for everyone.
