For 13 years, a key pillar of the Chrome Safety ecosystem has included encouraging safety researchers to seek out safety vulnerabilities in Chrome browser and report them to us, by the Chrome Vulnerability Rewards Program.
Beginning right now and till 1 December 2023, the primary safety bug report we obtain with a useful full chain exploit, leading to a Chrome sandbox escape, is eligible for triple the complete reward quantity. Your full chain exploit may end in a reward as much as $180,000 (doubtlessly extra with different bonuses).
Any subsequent full chains submitted throughout this time are eligible for double the complete reward quantity!
Now we have traditionally put a premium on stories with exploits – “top quality stories with a useful exploit” is the best tier of reward quantities in our Vulnerability Rewards Program. Through the years, the risk mannequin of Chrome browser has developed as options have matured and new options and new mitigations, such a MiraclePtr, have been launched. Given these evolutions, we’re at all times desirous about explorations of recent and novel approaches to completely exploit Chrome browser and we need to present alternatives to higher incentivize this sort of analysis. These exploits present us helpful perception into the potential assault vectors for exploiting Chrome, and permit us to establish methods for higher hardening particular Chrome options and concepts for future broad-scale mitigation methods.
The complete particulars of this bonus alternative can be found on the Chrome VRP guidelines and rewards web page. The abstract is as follows:
- The bug stories could also be submitted prematurely whereas exploit growth continues throughout this 180-day window. The useful exploits should be submitted to Chrome by the top of the 180-day window to be eligible for the triple or double reward.
- The primary useful full chain exploit we obtain is eligible for the triple reward quantity.
- The complete chain exploit should end in a Chrome browser sandbox escape, with an illustration of attacker management / code execution exterior of the sandbox.
- Exploitation should be capable to be carried out remotely and no or very restricted reliance on person interplay.
- The exploit will need to have been useful in an lively launch channel of Chrome (Dev, Beta, Secure, Prolonged Secure) on the time of the preliminary stories of the bugs in that chain. Please don’t submit exploits developed from publicly disclosed safety bugs or different artifacts in outdated, previous variations of Chrome.
As is according to our normal rewards coverage, if the exploit permits for distant code execution (RCE) within the browser or different highly-privileged course of, corresponding to community or GPU course of, to end in a sandbox escape with out the necessity of a primary stage bug, the reward quantity for renderer RCE “top quality report with useful exploit” can be granted and included within the calculation of the bonus reward whole.
Based mostly on our present Chrome VRP reward matrix, your full chain exploit may end in a complete reward of over $165,000 -$180,000 for the primary full chain exploit and over $110,000 – $120,000 for subsequent full chain exploits we obtain within the six month window of this reward alternative.
We’d prefer to thank our complete Chrome researcher group in your previous and ongoing efforts and safety bug submissions! You’ve actually helped us make Chrome safer for all customers.
Blissful Searching!
