TryHackMe both encourages and rewards responsible security bug discovering and disclosing. While we review every case-by-case report basis, we ask you to follow a few rules to ensure your bug qualifies.

Scope:

*.tryhackme.com

Out-of-scope vulnerabilities:

  • Social engineering attacks

  • Attacks against our infrastructure

  • Content spoofing and text injection issues without being able to modify HTML/CSS

  • Clickjacking or Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

  • Lack of security headers, httponly flags, etc

  • Open redirect - unless you can demonstrate an additional security impact

  • Any activity that could lead to the disruption of our service (DoS)

  • Rate limiting or brute force issues on non-authentication endpoints

  • Anything that affects TryHackMe's functionality to other users or is public-facing.

Rules:

Please note that these are subject to change at any time and should act as guidance. Disclosed issues may still be rejected even if it adheres to the below.

  1. Adhere to the TryHackMe Terms and Conditions at all times.

  2. No mass-or-automated scanning tools. These will quickly be blocked by Cloudflare, at the very least.

  3. Do not affect or attack other users. You can create another profile as a proof of concept, but do not affect other users' experience of TryHackMe, including any instances deployed by them.

  4. Do not abuse the bug you have discovered. For example, using a way to gain more points places you first place on the Monthly leaderboard.

  5. Do not discuss the bug outside of the disclosure process with TryHackMe.

Potential rewards:

TryHackMe rewards valid and responsibly disclosed bugs through a variety of means, again, on a case-by-case basis, including:
