Learn more about the rules and steps for submitting a vulnerability report on the platform

After practicing with the Dojo challenges, you can start finding vulnerabilities on YesWeHack public programs. If you submit high-quality reports, you may then be invited to join private programs.
Before testing, make sure to carefully read the program description and rules to ensure you fully understand the scope of the program you are targeting.

Once you have identified a vulnerability, follow the steps below to submit your report. This article also outlines the potential scenarios that may prevent you from submitting a report.

Submission limit

To ensure high-quality submissions across the platform, the number of reports you can have open at the same time depends on the following rules:

ℹ️ It only concerns Bug Bounty and Featured Vulnerability Disclosure policy reports. Dojo reports are excluded.

  • If you’re just getting started and don’t yet have reports in the following statuses — Accepted, Duplicated, or Resolved — you can have up to two reports open simultaneously.

If you’re a seasoned Hunter but still receive this message, it’s because of your ADR reports' ratio.

  • The ratio is calculated as follow: Number of ADR reports (Accepted, Duplicated, Resolved) / Total submitted reports

    If this ratio is less than 15%, you are limited to four open reports at a given time.

  • When your ADR ratio exceeds 15%, you can submit an unlimited number of reports on the platform.

Prioritise quality in your vulnerability reports to earn points and rewards.
