Exclusions:

• All CSRF vulnerabilities will likely be evaluated at P4 level
• Social Engineering
• Uploading of any vulnerability or client-related content to third-party utilities (e.g. Github, DropBox)
• Network-layer D/DoS
  • If you suspect an application-layer D/DoS, contact Bugcrowd to review the vulnerability. Do not proof-of-concept application-layer D/DoS attacks without prior consent.
• All attack payload data must use professional language (ex: “test” rather than “this has been hacked.”)
• If able to gain access to a system, accounts, users, or user data, stop at the recognition of and report. Do not dive deeper to determine how much more is accessible.

Additionally, the following vulnerabilities are considered too low of an impact, and will be marked as Out of Scope if submitted:

Web

• Account/e-mail enumeration using brute-force attacks
• Any low impact issues related to session management (i.e. concurrent sessions, session expiration, password reset/change logout, etc.)
• Bypassing content restrictions in uploading a file without proving the file was received
• Clickjacking/UI redressing
• Incomplete or missing SPF/DMARC/DKIM records
• Issues related to password/credential strength, length, lock outs, or lack of brute-force/rate limiting protections
• Lack of SSL or Mixed content
• Missing Cookie flags
• Reflected file download attacks (RFD)
• Self-exploitation (i.e. password reset links or cookie reuse)
• URL Redirection
• Use of a known-vulnerable library which leads to a low-impact vulnerability (i.e. jQuery outdated version leads to low impact XSS)
• Vulnerabilities affecting users of outdated browsers, plugins or platforms
• Vulnerabilities that allow for the injection of arbitrary text without allowing for hyperlinks, HTML, or JavaScript code to be injected
• Vulnerabilities that require the user/victim to perform extremely unlikely actions (i.e. Self-XSS)

Android

• android:debuggable=”true” in Android Manifest
• android:allowBackup set to true (by default)
• Information disclosure via Toast messages

iOS

• Information leakage in backgrounding snapshots
• Information leakage in keystroke caching

Both

• Copy & Paste disabled for sensitive fields
• Pasteboard data cached
• The application asks for more permission than its needs
• Two-factor authentication bypass that requires physical access to a logged-in device
• Any issue in the mobile app that can only be exploited on a rooted or jailbroken device
• Any issue exploited in the mobile app because an operating system vulnerability
• Local access to user data when operating a rooted mobile device

This list will be updated if we see a particular vuln that is systemic and site wide. Please check this list often. This is for your benefit and to save you the trouble of searching the analytics
