In an ideal world, every company would have flawless software. No holes. No bugs. Airtight. But in the real world, every company has cracks that, if left undetected, can threaten security — even security companies. That’s why Avast Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Jaya Baloo relaunched the Avast Bug Bounty Program, complete with a new look, new rules, and a new Hacker Hall of Fame.

The bug bounty rules are pretty simple: Use the submission form to send in a detailed bug description, exactly where you found it, and any relevant code. The first researcher to report a bug gets the bounty, which starts at $400 and increases based on the severity of the bug, potentially up to thousands of dollars per report. And if you try to exploit the bug yourself or publicly expose it? No bounty for you.

Here’s a quick overview of the types of bugs that do qualify:

Remote code execution

Local privilege escalation

Denial-of-service (DoS)

Certain scanner bypasses

The goal of the new Avast bug bounty program is to not only secure the Avast site and products, but to help make the digital world safer for everyone. And for that, we need your help.
