The Xbox Bounty Program invites gamers, security researchers, and others around the world to help identify security vulnerabilities in the Xbox Live network and services and share them with the Xbox team. Qualified submissions are eligible for bounty rewards of $500 to $20,000 USD.
HOW ARE AWARD AMOUNTS SET?
Bounty awards range from $500 up to $20,000. Higher awards are possible, at Microsoft’s sole discretion, based on report quality and vulnerability impact. Researchers who provide submissions that do not qualify for bounty awards may still be eligible for public acknowledgment if their submission leads to a vulnerability fix.
