In-Scope Vulnerabilities

We are mostly interested in the following vulnerabilities:

• Business logic issues
• Payments manipulation
• Remote code execution (RCE)
• Database vulnerability, SQLi
• File inclusions (Local & Remote)
• Access Control Issues (IDOR, Privilege Escalation, etc)
• XML External Entity Attacks (XXE)
• Leakage of sensitive information
• Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
• Other vulnerability with a clear potential loss

Out-of-Scope Vulnerabilities

OUT OF SCOPE - WEB

Vulnerabilities found in out of scope resources are unlikely to be rewarded unless they present a serious business risk (at our sole discretion). In general, the following vulnerabilities do not correspond to the severity threshold:

• Vulnerabilities in third-party applications
• Vulnerabilities requiring any third-party apps (including malware) to be installed in the victim's device
• Best practices concerns
• Other browser sessions not logging out immediately upon a change in password/ setup of 2FA
• Recently (less than 30 days) disclosed 0day vulnerabilities
• Vulnerabilities affecting users of outdated browsers or platforms
• Social engineering, phishing, physical, or other fraud activities
• Publicly accessible login panels without proof of exploitation
• Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof of concept
• Vulnerabilities involving active content such as web browser add-ons
• Most brute-forcing issues without clear impact
• Denial of service
• Theoretical issues
• Moderately Sensitive Information Disclosure
• Spam (sms, email, etc)
• Missing HTTP security headers
• Infrastructure vulnerabilities, including:
  • Certificates/TLS/SSL related issues
  • DNS issues (i.e. MX records, SPF records, DMARC records, etc.)
  • Server configuration issues (i.e., open ports, TLS, etc.)
• Open redirects
• Session fixation
• User account enumeration
• Clickjacking/Tapjacking and issues only exploitable through clickjacking/tap jacking
• Descriptive error messages (e.g. Stack Traces, application or server errors)
• Self-XSS that cannot be used to exploit other users
• CSRF vulnerabilities
• Weak Captcha/Captcha Bypass
• Lack of Secure and HTTPOnly cookie flags
• Username/email enumeration via Login/Forgot Password Page error messages
• OPTIONS/TRACE HTTP method enabled
• Host header issues without proof-of-concept demonstrating the vulnerability
• Content spoofing and text injection issues without showing an attack vector/without being able to modify HTML/CSS
• Content Spoofing without embedded links/HTML
• Reflected File Download (RFD)
• Mixed HTTP Content
• HTTPS Mixed Content Scripts
• DoS/DDoS issues
• Broken Link Hijacking

OUT OF SCOPE - MOBILE

• Attacks requiring physical access to a user's device
• Vulnerabilities requiring extensive user interaction
• Exposure of non-sensitive data on the device
• Reports from static analysis of the binary without PoC that impacts business logic
• Lack of obfuscation/binary protection/root(jailbreak) detection
• Bypass certificate pinning on rooted devices
• Lack of Exploit mitigations i.e., PIE, ARC, or Stack Canaries
• Sensitive data in URLs/request bodies when protected by TLS
• Path disclosure in the binary
• OAuth & app secret hard-coded/recoverable in IPA, APK
• Sensitive information retained as plaintext in the device’s memory
• Crashes due to malformed URL Schemes or Intents sent to exported Activity/Service/Broadcast Receiver (exploiting these for sensitive data leakage is commonly in scope)
• Any kind of sensitive data stored in-app private directory
• Runtime hacking exploits using tools like but not limited to Frida/ Appmon (exploits only possible in a jailbroken environment)
• Shared links leaked through the system clipboard
• Any URIs leaked because a malicious app has permission to view URIs opened.
• Exposure of API keys with no security impact (Google Maps API keys etc.)
• Everything included in the OUT OF SCOPE - WEB section

• Avoid using web application scanners for automatic vulnerability searching which generates massive traffic
• Make every effort not to damage or restrict the availability of products, services or infrastructure
• Avoid compromising any personal data, interruption or degradation of any service
• Don’t access or modify other user data, localize all tests to your accounts
• Perform testing only within the scope
• Don’t exploit any DoS/DDoS vulnerabilities, social engineering attacks or spam
• Don’t spam forms or account creation flows using automated scanners
• In case you find chain vulnerabilities we’ll pay only for vulnerability with the highest severity.
• Don’t break any law and stay in the defined scope
• Any details of found vulnerabilities must not be communicated to anyone who is not a HackenProof Team or an authorized employee of this Company without appropriate permission
