What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines Bugcrowd submissions by guiding the selection of Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy (VRT) categories, providing severity override strategies, and offering rebuttal templates for out-of-scope (OOS) claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • VRT Category Selection: Offers a search-and-fallback strategy for VRT selection to ensure accurate impact representation.
  • Manual Severity Override: Instructs on when and how to override default VRT severity ratings.
  • OOS-Clause Rebuttals: Provides templates for rebutting common OOS claims made by Bugcrowd triagers.
  • Chained Findings: Outlines a strategy for reporting chained vulnerabilities and cross-referencing related submissions.
  • Target Selection: Offers guidance on selecting the appropriate target environment (QA vs. production) for submissions.
  • Researcher-Side Hygiene: Details best practices for maintaining a positive researcher reputation on Bugcrowd.
  • Submission-Order Strategy: Recommends an order for submitting multiple findings from a single engagement.
