Microsoft has now included MS Teams in one of its bug bounty programs.
What is a bug bounty program?
Every app probably has a few bugs that developers miss during the software development process. One of the reasons why developers bring out patch updates for software is to fix bugs and issues. Some publishers have also started bounty programs that offer rewards for user-discovered bugs. Microsoft is one of the big-name software publishers with bug bounty programs. The big M has launched bug programs for cloud, platform, and defense & grant software. In all, there are currently 16 bug programs listed on the Microsoft Bug Bounty Program page.
The Microsoft Applications Bounty Program
MS Teams is among the latest apps for Microsoft to include within a bounty program. The big M has added Teams to the Microsoft Applications Bounty Program. Users who identity an undiscovered Teams vulnerability could net up to $30,000. Microsoft lists the program’s general rewards as follows:
Remote code execution: $5,000-$15,000 Elevation of Privilege: $5,000-$8,000 Information Disclosure: $5,000-$8,000 Spoofing: $500-$3,000 Tampering: $500-$3,000
The maximum $30,000 reward is for high-impact scenarios. If you can discover a high-impact remote code execution bug in the MS Teams desktop client app, you could net a $30,000 prize from the big M. Yet, that is still some way short of the $250,000 reward Microsoft offers on the Hyper-V bug program. So, do you want to be a Microsoft Teams bug hunter? If so, you can check out the Microsoft Applications Bug Program page for further details. The Bounty Terms and Conditions page lays out the full terms for the program, and you can submit bugs for review via the Researcher Portal. Highlights section
