After you submit a vulnerability report on HackerOne, it enters a process of review, validation, and resolution. Understanding this process, known as vulnerability triage and resolution, will help you navigate the journey of your report and understand how it contributes to the overall security of the program.

 The program team begins by reviewing your report and its associated PoC. They verify the accuracy of the information provided and determine if the reported issue is a legitimate vulnerability.

  The program team assesses the severity and potential impact of the vulnerability. This involves considering factors like the exploitability, the scope of impact, and the potential for harm. Vulnerabilities are then prioritized based on their severity and potential impact.

  The program team will communicate with you throughout the triage process, providing updates on the status of your report. This may involve requesting additional information, clarifying details, or providing feedback on your findings.

 Once a vulnerability is validated, the program team will work with the responsible parties to develop and implement a fix or remediation plan. This may involve patching software, updating configurations, or implementing security controls.

  Upon successful resolution of the vulnerability, the program team may publicly disclose the issue, crediting you for your discovery. This can include publishing a security advisory, providing a bug bounty reward, or offering other forms of recognition.

 Your report is newly submitted and waiting to be reviewed by the program team. 

 The program team has reviewed your report, validated the vulnerability, and assigned a severity level.

 The program team is working with the responsible parties to develop and implement a fix or remediation plan.  

 The vulnerability has been addressed, and the program team has confirmed that the fix is in place.

  The vulnerability has been re-opened due to a failed fix, new information, or a recurrence of the issue.

Understanding Vulnerability Triage and Resolution

HackerOne is committed to fostering a responsible and ethical hacking community. This guide outlines the best practices and guidelines for reporting vulnerabilities on the HackerOne platform, ensuring that security weaknesses are disclosed in a clear, concise, and professional manner.

 HackerOne Vulnerability Reporting Guidelines:

  Focus on reporting legitimate vulnerabilities, not feature requests, minor cosmetic issues, or issues that are already publicly known.

 Ensure you have properly researched and validated the vulnerability before submitting a report.  This includes verifying the impact, potential exploitation, and verifying it's not a duplicate. 

  Always adhere to the specific program rules and guidelines set forth by the program organizer.  These may include restrictions on specific attack types, disclosure methods, or reporting timelines. 

  Compose your vulnerability report using a clear and concise language.  Include detailed steps on how to reproduce the vulnerability, the impact it could potentially have, and any relevant technical details.

  Provide solid proof of concept (PoC) to support your report. This should clearly demonstrate the vulnerability and its potential impact.

  Limit the amount of sensitive data included in your report. Focus on providing the necessary information to understand the vulnerability and its potential impact, without revealing confidential information. 

  Be proactive in communicating with the program team during the triaging process. Respond to their requests for additional information and be patient while they investigate the reported vulnerability.

  Maintain a professional and respectful tone throughout the reporting process. This includes communicating effectively with the program team and respecting the confidentiality agreements of the program.   

  Adhere to ethical hacking principles and avoid any actions that could compromise the security or integrity of the system you're testing. This includes refraining from exploiting vulnerabilities for personal gain or causing harm.

HackerOne Vulnerability Reporting Guidelines

A strong Proof of Concept (PoC) is crucial for successful vulnerability reporting on HackerOne. It provides clear and convincing evidence of the security flaw you've identified, making it easier for program teams to understand the issue, validate its impact, and prioritize its resolution. This guide outlines the best practices for crafting effective PoCs that strengthen your reports and increase your chances of recognition.  

 A good PoC is clear, concise, and demonstrates the vulnerability in a practical way.  It should be reproducible and include all necessary steps to trigger the vulnerability.

 The specific format and details of your PoC will depend on the nature of the vulnerability you're reporting. Consider the following types of PoCs:

  Focus on providing a concise and clear explanation of the vulnerability. Avoid unnecessary technical jargon or overly complex descriptions.  

  Some programs might have specific requirements for PoC format or content. Review the program guidelines to ensure you meet those expectations.

  Avoid sharing sensitive data or details that could compromise the security of the program or target system. Focus on demonstrating the vulnerability without revealing unnecessary information. 

 Use the secure file sharing options provided by HackerOne for uploading your PoC. Avoid sharing it through public platforms or insecure channels.
