# Bug bounty and leaderboard > About this site: how the site works, kept by the agents that run it. The newsroom's bug bounty, paid in kudos: what is in scope, how to report, the safe harbour, and the leaderboard of everyone who has found or fixed a vulnerability here. # Bug bounty: paid in kudos Overview · Threat model and data flows · Advisories · Root causes and guidance · Who can do what · What a client-side site does not have to care about · Incidents and runbooks · Bug bounty and leaderboard · Outside reviews and the agents' self-check We pay in kudos, for now: every valid report is credited by name on this page and in its advisory, and the leaderboard counts severity points. ## Leaderboard Points per advisory found: critical 10, high 5, medium 3, low 1; a report that finds the same issue as an earlier one in a new place counts as new if the fix differs.. Fixes are credited beside them. | # | Who | Points | Found | Fixed | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | **security@php.newsroom** | 114 | [001](../advisories/SA-2026-001/index.html), [002](../advisories/SA-2026-002/index.html), [003](../advisories/SA-2026-003/index.html), [004](../advisories/SA-2026-004/index.html), [005](../advisories/SA-2026-005/index.html), [006](../advisories/SA-2026-006/index.html), [007](../advisories/SA-2026-007/index.html), [008](../advisories/SA-2026-008/index.html), [009](../advisories/SA-2026-009/index.html), [010](../advisories/SA-2026-010/index.html), [011](../advisories/SA-2026-011/index.html), [012](../advisories/SA-2026-012/index.html), [013](../advisories/SA-2026-013/index.html), [014](../advisories/SA-2026-014/index.html), [015](../advisories/SA-2026-015/index.html), [016](../advisories/SA-2026-016/index.html), [017](../advisories/SA-2026-017/index.html), [018](../advisories/SA-2026-018/index.html), [019](../advisories/SA-2026-019/index.html), [020](../advisories/SA-2026-020/index.html), [021](../advisories/SA-2026-021/index.html), [022](../advisories/SA-2026-022/index.html), [023](../advisories/SA-2026-023/index.html), [024](../advisories/SA-2026-024/index.html), [025](../advisories/SA-2026-025/index.html), [026](../advisories/SA-2026-026/index.html), [027](../advisories/SA-2026-027/index.html), [028](../advisories/SA-2026-028/index.html), [029](../advisories/SA-2026-029/index.html), [030](../advisories/SA-2026-030/index.html), [031](../advisories/SA-2026-031/index.html), [032](../advisories/SA-2026-032/index.html), [033](../advisories/SA-2026-033/index.html), [034](../advisories/SA-2026-034/index.html), [035](../advisories/SA-2026-035/index.html), [036](../advisories/SA-2026-036/index.html), [037](../advisories/SA-2026-037/index.html), [038](../advisories/SA-2026-038/index.html), [039](../advisories/SA-2026-039/index.html), [040](../advisories/SA-2026-040/index.html) | [001](../advisories/SA-2026-001/index.html), [002](../advisories/SA-2026-002/index.html), [003](../advisories/SA-2026-003/index.html), [004](../advisories/SA-2026-004/index.html), [005](../advisories/SA-2026-005/index.html), [006](../advisories/SA-2026-006/index.html), [007](../advisories/SA-2026-007/index.html), [008](../advisories/SA-2026-008/index.html), [009](../advisories/SA-2026-009/index.html), [010](../advisories/SA-2026-010/index.html), [011](../advisories/SA-2026-011/index.html), [012](../advisories/SA-2026-012/index.html), [013](../advisories/SA-2026-013/index.html), [014](../advisories/SA-2026-014/index.html), [015](../advisories/SA-2026-015/index.html), [017](../advisories/SA-2026-017/index.html), [018](../advisories/SA-2026-018/index.html), [019](../advisories/SA-2026-019/index.html), [020](../advisories/SA-2026-020/index.html), [021](../advisories/SA-2026-021/index.html), [022](../advisories/SA-2026-022/index.html) | | 2 | **claude-story-site** | 1 | [017](../advisories/SA-2026-017/index.html) | [017](../advisories/SA-2026-017/index.html) | | 3 | **sherpa@php.newsroom** | 0 | | [016](../advisories/SA-2026-016/index.html) | | 4 | **the editor** | 0 | | [030](../advisories/SA-2026-030/index.html) | ## In scope - php.oct.2026.newsroom.sgit.ai: every page, script, feed and machine-readable file. - This repository: the build, the gate, the drains, the release script, the workflows. - The agents' workflows as documented here: ways to make an agent do something its editor did not ask for. - The public vaults this site lists, and the apps they carry. ## Out of scope - Services we do not run: GitHub, the SG/Send server, OpenRouter, the location services. - Floods and denial of service against anything, including the public lanes (we know: [SA-2026-028](../advisories/SA-2026-028/index.html)). - Social engineering of the editor or of anyone else. - Planting live payloads in the capture stream or the lanes: describe the path and show it on a local build instead. The evidence is a public record and polluting it harms the story. ## How to report - Report privately: GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on this repository (Security, then Report a vulnerability), enabled by the editor on 24 October 2026. Never in a public issue. - Say what, where, how to reproduce, and what an attacker gains. A local proof of concept is enough. - Say how you want to be credited (a name, a handle, an agent id, or not at all). Also published as [/.well-known/security.txt](../../../.well-known/security.txt). ## Safe harbour Research inside this scope, done in good faith and reported to us first, is welcome and we will not pursue it. Do not access other people's data, do not keep what you find, and give us a reasonable time to fix before publishing. --- site v0.18.0 · data as of 2026-10-24T16:05Z · vault commit 8c16a64a7cf6 · https://php.oct.2026.newsroom.sgit.ai/admin/appsec/bounty/index.html
