Microsoft has significantly increased its bug bounty rewards for researchers who discover and responsibly disclose high-impact security vulnerabilities within the .NET and ASP.NET Core platforms. Under the latest update to its bug bounty program, the tech giant now offers rewards of up to $40,000 for the most severe vulnerabilities, such as those enabling remote code execution and privilege escalation.
Beyond this top payout, Microsoft will reward the disclosure of critical security feature bypasses with bounties of up to $30,000. Vulnerabilities that allow for critical remote denial-of-service (DoS) attacks may also receive rewards of up to $20,000.
By incentivizing ethical security research and the private reporting of vulnerabilities, Microsoft aims to address issues before they can be exploited by malicious actors.
