Researchers who find vulnerabilities in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and disclose them through the company’s Vulnerability Reward Program (VRP) can earn up to $31,337.

However, last year Google announced that it would be offering an extra $100,000 for the most interesting vulnerabilities discovered in its cloud platform in an effort to encourage researchers to analyze it.
The GCP VRP prize for last year went to Wouter ter Maat, who discovered several Cloud Shell vulnerabilities.

For this year, the total GCP VRP prize amount has been increased to $313,337, which will be split among the six most interesting submissions. The first prize is $133,337, the second and third place get $73,331, fourth place receives $31,337, and the last two will be awarded $1,000 each.

“Like last year, submissions should have public write-ups in order to be eligible for the prize. The number of vulnerability reports in a single write-up is not a factor. You can even make multiple submissions, one for each write-up,” Harshvardan Sharma, information security engineer at Google, wrote in a blog post.

Research Grants to support Google VRP Bug Hunters during COVID-19

In 2015, we launched our Vulnerability Research Grant program, which allows us to recognize the time and efforts of security researchers, including the situations where they don't find any vulnerabilities. To support our community of security researchers and to help protect our users around the world during COVID-19, we are announcing a temporary expansion of our Vulnerability Research Grant efforts.
