Get started with Adobe Public Bug Bounty Program

-

Our public bug bounty program is hosted by the HackerOne platform. This program is the first layer of contact for security researchers who wants to join our community and responsibly and ethically disclose security issues to Adobe. 

Scope:

  • Adobe Commerce, Adobe Commerce B2B and Magento Open Source
  • CAI Content Credentials
  • Acrobat Web
  • Firefly
  • ColdFusion

  • Lightroom Web
  • Photoshop Web
  • etc.

Researchers that have demonstrated excellence in Adobe’s Public Bug Bounty Program will have an opportunity to be invited to our Private Bug Bounty Program.

The Adobe Private Bug Bounty Program regularly hosts monthly bounty multiplier campaigns in an effort to offer a dynamic, engaging opportunity for our bug bounty researchers to test across new products and learn new skillsets.

Adobe's Security Researcher Hall of Fame initiative provides an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the most impactful security researchers who have demonstrated tremendous dedication to help protect Adobe's products, services, and customers.

Response Targets

Adobe makes every effort to meet the following SLAs for hackers participating in our program:

Type of Response SLA in business days
First Response 1 day
Time to Triage 2 days
Time to Resolution dependent on severity and complexity

We’ll try to keep you informed about our progress throughout the process.

Process

Your submission will be reviewed and validated by a member of the Product Security Incident Response Team.

  • When submitting a vulnerability, please provide concise steps to reproduce that are easily understood.
  • Including a proof-of-concept for desktop vulnerabilities will expedite our investigation. We encourage you to use PGP encryption (key here).
  • If the same vulnerability is found on multiple hosts associated with the same asset/domain, please include all vulnerable hosts in a single report.
  • When duplicates occur, we consider the first report that was received to be treated as unique, and subsequent reports will be marked as a duplicate.

Eligible Vulnerabilities

We encourage disclosure of any security vulnerabilities that have the potential to impact the security or privacy of our customers.  When submitting a vulnerability report, please provide concise steps to reproduce that are easily understood.

Disclosure

In the interest of fostering coordinated disclosure, Adobe will collaborate with finders in good faith who wish to disclose vulnerabilities. To protect our customers, we expect that finders will wait until a fix has been made available and communicated to impacted customers, or a reasonable period of time has elapsed since notification.

Rewards

This program does not provide monetary rewards for bug submissions.
