Program description
Supported languages:
- English
- Russian
Bug Bounty program's scope:
Domains:
VK WorkSpace:
workspace.vk.ru
app.workspace.vk.ru
biz.mail.ru
app.workspace.vk.ru
biz.mail.ru
VK Teams:
*.myteam.vmailru.net
*.myteam.mail.ru
*.teams.vk.com

*.teams.vk.com
Important:
Due to a high volume of invalid and automatically generated reports, please attach a screenshot that clearly demonstrates the issue/threat to confirm the vulnerability. Reports without screenshots or a screen recording may be rejected.
Bug reports on the biz.mail.ru domain may be accepted without payment / as informational if the vulnerability affects dev services.
Error reports in the TARM, VK WorkSpace and VK Teams programs may be considered duplicates.
When testing RCE, SQLi, LFI, LFR, SSTI it is allowed to use only MINIMALLY possible POC for proof (sleep, accessing /etc/passwd, curl), if you want to test the possibility of privilege escalation on the server - write about it in a comment.
Publishing or disclosing bug report and/or any details associated with VK products without approval from VK's information security team is prohibited. We reserve the right to refuse any request for public disclosure of the report.
Vulnerability testing should only be done on your own accounts.
Limitations on the Bug Bounty program's scope:
Bug reports submitted by current or former employees (up to one year from the end of employment) of the VK Group are accepted without payment.
Bug reports on the following domains are accepted without payment for informational purposes:
*.support.biz.mail.ru
Bugs identified on demo stands, dev infrastructure, domains used for training, delegated, externally hosted domains and partner services are accepted as informational and are not paid for.
It is recommended to limit all scanning tools to 10 requests per second.
We do not accept or review:
- Reports generated by AI, vulnerability scanners, or other automated tools without a screenshot or video demonstrating the vulnerability and the steps required to reproduce it;
- Disclosure of information that is not confidential, for example, the version of a product;
- Disclosure of information about a user that is public, for example, a user's nickname;
- Bug reports based on the version of a product/protocol (e.g. TLS version);
- Bug reports about a missing security mechanism/current best practice (e.g. missing - CSRF token, framing/clickjacking protection);
- We do not accept disclosures of internal hostnames, IP addresses, or sourcemaps;
- Messages about published and unpublished SPF and DMARC policies;
- Cross-site request forgery leading to logout (logout CSRF);
- Vulnerabilities in partner products or services, unless Mail.Ru or VK.com users/accounts are directly affected;
- Security of rooted, jailbroken, or otherwise modified devices and applications;
- Vulnerabilities in outdated OS and applications;
- Attacks in which the user independently granted permissions to a malicious application;
- Ability to reverse engineer an application, or the lack of binary protection;
- MitM and local attacks;
- Open redirects, insufficient session validation, handling cookies after logout, etc. are not accepted unless additional vectors are defined (e.g., the ability to steal a session token via a remote vector for open redirects);
- Open redirection vulnerabilities are accepted only if a security impact is identified, such as the possibility of stealing an authorization token;
- Injecting unformatted text, audio, images, or video into a server response outside of the user interface (for example, into JSON data or an error message), unless doing so replaces the user interface, changes the behavior of the user interface, or results in other negative consequences;
- Same site scripting, reflected downloads, and similar attacks with questionable impact;
- CSP-related bug reports;
- IDN homograph attacks;
- XSPA (scanning the IP addresses/ports of external networks);
- Excel CSV formula injection;
- Scripting in PDF documents;
- Attacks that require full access to a local account, browser profile or physical access to the device;
- Attacks based on scenarios where a vulnerability in a third-party site or application is required as a prerequisite and is not demonstrated;
- Theoretical attacks without proof of feasibility;
- Denial of service (DoS) vulnerabilities, for example - sending a large volume of requests or data (flooding);
- Ability to send a large number of messages;
- Ability to send spam or a malware file (for example, registration or password recovery spam);
- Disclosure of information through external links not controlled by Mail.Ru or VK.com (for example, Google dorking of private protected areas of robots.txt);
- Disclosure of unused or properly restricted JS API keys (for example, an API key for an external map service, error reporting services like App Tracer, Sentry and others);
- Ability to perform an action not available through the user interface and without identified security risks;
- Vulnerabilities associated with the use of phishing and other social engineering techniques;
- Disclosure of /metrics, /status, htaccess or similar without a demonstrated information security threat (for example, disclosure of private API methods, tokens);
- Blind SSRF vulnerabilities without demonstrating a threat to the service's information security in the report;
- EXIF metadata in images;
- SSRF vulnerabilities that involve sending requests via rentgen*.smailru.net, snipster.*.go.mail.ru, mpr*.m.smailru.net, kbt-sand-node*.m.smailru.net, rs-proxy*.i.smailru.net or other proxies specifically designed to protect against SSRF;
- Vulnerabilities that disclose only user accounts but not passwords or other personal data (for example, user enumeration).
We consider bug reports as informational if:
- The report exposes information about compromised external user accounts on VK services;
General Information
VK Security Team responds to a new report within 3 business days.
Rewards for reported vulnerabilities are assigned within 10 business days.
If the reward evaluation takes longer than 10 business days, the researcher will be informed additionally.
Public 0-day/1-day vulnerabilities may be considered duplicates for several weeks after a vulnerability is published if our team knows about the vulnerability from open sources and we are working to eliminate or fix it.
Disclosure Policy
Publication or disclosure of report details without prior approval from VK Information Security is strictly prohibited.
We reserve the right to decline any request for public disclosure of a report.
Bounty rules:
The Bug Bounty program rewards only those vulnerabilities that were previously unknown to the VK Security Team and are fully reproducible.
The bounty amounts shown in the description are for reference only. The applicability and amount of a bounty may depend on the severity of the problem, novelty, likelihood of use, environment, and/or other factors.
The types of vulnerabilities eligible for bounties are listed in the "Rewards" section at the end of the rules for the Bug Bounty program rules.
Any vulnerabilities not listed in the "Rewards" section are paid for at the discretion of the program owner.
Any vulnerabilities not listed in the "Rewards" section are paid for at the discretion of the program owner.
VK Security Team makes a bounty decision for each report individually.
The maximum reward amount is calculated for the Server-Side vulnerability scenario that does not require brute-forcing identifiers and user interaction.
