Guidelines

We ask that all researchers:

• Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction of data during security testing

• Use the identified communication channels to report vulnerability information to us

• Report vulnerabilities as soon as you discover it, but keep it confidential between yourself and Shakepay until we’ve resolve the issue

• Provide us with at least 5-7 working days to investigate the issue and get back to you

Additionally, if you are the first to report the issue, and we make a code or configuration change based on the issue, we commit to:

Reward you with a bounty (up to a maximum of CAD $2000 paid out per month):

• Up to CAD $1200 if you identified a vulnerability that presented a severe risk

• Up to CAD $400 if you identified a vulnerability that presented a moderate risk

• Up to CAD $20 if you identified a vulnerability that presented a low risk

• CAD $5 if there was in fact no vulnerability, but we still made a related code or configuration change nonetheless

Please note that the reward will be determined at our discretion depending on the impact of the vulnerability.

Examples of vulnerabilities and the levels we assign them:

Severe risk:

• Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability

• Remote code execution

• File system access

• Exfiltration of digital or fiat currency

Moderate risk:

• Authentication flaw

• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) on user data

• Sensitive data sent unencrypted (for example, with HTTP and not HTTPS)

• Vulnerabilities when uploading documents

Low risk:

• Self-XSS (XSS), a user performing XSS on themselves only

• On a case-by-case basis, issues with publicly-available malicious browser extensions that capture user data

• On a case-by-case basis, exploits for legacy browsers (any version of Internet Explorer or any version of Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Chromium/Opera/Edge that is not the latest)

Payout

Payouts will be done in either Bitcoin or Interac e-transfer. Researcher will provide us with a Bitcoin address or email address for the payout within 7 days after we have resolved the issue.
