Microsoft has been busy expanding its Bug Bounty program this year. So far the company has added rewards for finding exploits in.Net Core, ASP .Net Core, andOneDrive. Last month, Microsoft also added Edge to the Bug Bounty program. Specifically, Microsoft started offering rewards to anyone who found Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities in Edge on Windows Insider Preview builds.
According to a report fromThe Register, Microsoft is now expanding their Bug Bounty program for Edge beyond just Remote Code Execution. The program will now also payout up to $6,000 for proof of a flaw in Edge that violates W3C standards. W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium is an international standards organization for the web which has produced industry-leading standards that define the Open Web Platform. Microsoft is looking for violations of W3C standards that compromise privacy or integrity of user date. This includes violation of SoP and Referrer spoofs.
Violations of XSS will only result in up to $1,500 rewards. Finding a Remote Code Execution bug is still the highest payout, of up to $15,000. The Edge bug bounty program only runs until May 15th, 2017. And it has to be found on Windows 10 Insider Preview builds from the slow ring.
There are also a few standards for what makes up an eligible submission. The include:
If you think you might have found a bug in Edge related to RCE or W3C violations, head over toMicrosoft’s TechNetsite to submit to the Microsoft Edge Web Platform on Windows Insider Preview Bug Bounty Program.
