Bug Bounty Intake

IT & Operations

Intake a bounty report with asset, impact, and a defender-facing confirmation note — a mailbox, not a payout engine.

bountysecurityvulnerabilityintake

A bounty program that only publishes an email address gets reports in the same pile as password resets. This GRTforms template is intake: asset, impact, and how a defender can confirm it. It is not a payout engine and it does not decide an award.

Who it is for

Product security teams who pay for in-scope findings and still triage in a human inbox.

When to use it

Link it from the bounty brief. Security Disclosure is the no-payment mailbox. Support Request is a customer defect. Do not put working exploits in a public success message.

What this form collects

Handle, contact email, severity guess, asset, impact, a defender confirmation note, payout expectation, and optional evidence.

  • Public bounty program contact form
  • Private program for invited researchers
  • Partner-reported issues that might be paid

Frequently asked questions

Does submitting this pay me?

No. GRTforms stores the report. Your team still scopes it and pays through the process you already publish. The form is the mailbox.

How is this different from Security Disclosure?

Security Disclosure assumes you may not pay. Bug Bounty Intake assumes a program exists and asks whether they want to be considered. Keep both if you run both paths.

Why not a single “how to reproduce” box?

Impact and confirmation are different jobs. Splitting them keeps a researcher from pasting a payload and calling it a report.
