This bug bounty program is focused on their smart contracts, website and app and is focused on preventing:

• Direct theft of any user funds, whether at rest or in motion, other than unclaimed yield
• Permanent freezing of funds
• Any governance voting result manipulation

Rewards by Threat Level

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2. This is a simplified 5-level scale, with separate scales for websites/apps, smart contracts, and blockchains/DLTs, focusing on the impact of the vulnerability reported.

All bug reports must come with a PoC with an end-effect impacting an asset-in-scope in order to be considered for a reward. Explanations and statements are not accepted as PoC and code is required.

Rewards for critical smart contract vulnerabilities are further capped at 10% of economic damage, with the primary consideration being the funds affected in addition to PR and brand considerations, at the team’s discretion. However, there is a minimum reward of USD 25 000 for Critical smart contract bug reports.

Payouts are handled by the Pact team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are in USDC or USDT, at the team's discretion.

Smart Contract

• Critical - Up to USD $100,000
• High - USD $25,000
• Medium - USD $5,000

Websites and Applications

• Critical - USD $5,000 (PoC Required)

Assets in Scope

All smart contracts of Pact can be found at https://github.com/pactfi/. However, only those in the Assets in Scope table are considered as in-scope of the bug bounty program.

Prioritized Vulnerabilities

Impacts in Scope

Only the following impacts are accepted within this bug bounty program. All other impacts are not considered as in-scope, even if they affect something in the assets in scope table.

Smart Contracts

Critical

• Direct theft of any user funds, whether at-rest or in-motion, other than unclaimed yield
• Permanent freezing of funds
• Miner-extractable value (MEV)
• Protocol Insolvency
• Any governance voting result manipulation

High

• Theft of unclaimed yield
• Permanent freezing of unclaimed yield
• Temporary freezing of funds for at least 24 hours

Medium

• Smart contract unable to operate due to lack of token funds
• Block stuffing for profit
• Griefing (e.g. no profit motive for an attacker, but damage to the users or the protocol)

• Unbounded gas consumption

Web/App

Critical

• Any bugs that lead to the direct and unequivocal loss to user funds, such as by spoofing transactions on the Pact interface

‍

Out of Scope & Rules

The following vulnerabilities are excluded from the rewards for this bug bounty program:

• Attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
• Attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
• Attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (governance, strategist)
• Attacks already reported or published

Smart Contracts and Blockchain

• Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
• Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
• Basic economic governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)

• Missing HTTP Security Headers (such as X-FRAME-OPTIONS) or cookie security flags (such as “httponly”)
• Server-side information disclosure such as IPs, server names, and most stack traces
• Vulnerabilities used to enumerate or confirm the existence of users or tenants
• Vulnerabilities requiring unlikely user actions
• URL Redirects (unless combined with another vulnerability to produce a more severe vulnerability)
• Lack of SSL/TLS best practices
• DDoS vulnerabilities
• Attacks requiring privileged access from within the organization
• Feature requests
• Best practices
• Vulnerabilities primarily caused by browser/plugin defects
• Any vulnerability exploit requiring CSP bypass resulting from a browser bug

The following activities are prohibited by this bug bounty program:

• Any testing with mainnet or public testnet contracts; all testing should be done on private testnets
• Any testing with pricing oracles or third party smart contracts
• Attempting phishing or other social engineering attacks against our employees and/or customers
• Any testing with third party systems and applications (e.g. browser extensions) as well as websites (e.g. SSO providers, advertising networks)
• Any denial of service attacks
• Automated testing of services that generates significant amounts of traffic
• Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty
