Self-Hosted Programs is a separate Pro catalog for security programs operated directly by organizations. Use it to browse paid bug bounties, include VDPs when useful, and open each program’s official policy and reporting route.

  1. Open the Self-Hosted catalog

    Go to Self-Hosted Programs while signed in with Pro.
  2. Start with the paid list

    The default view shows paid bug bounties, with the newest additions first.
  3. Include VDPs when needed

    Turn on Include VDPs to add verified no-monetary-reward disclosure policies.
  4. Search and filter

    Search names, domains, and structured targets, or filter by program type, scope tags, reward types, scope features such as wildcard coverage, and target type.
  5. Choose another view or sort

    Switch between list and grid, or sort by newest or oldest discovery, name, or maximum bounty from high to low or low to high.
Open the Self-Hosted catalogBrowse verified paid programs and optional VDPs.

A detail page brings the official policy, reporting route, reward range, and structured targets together. Use the policy and reporting buttons to verify current rules before testing or submitting a report.

Profile field
Paid or VDP
Meaning
Paid means the official program information advertises a monetary reward. VDP means no monetary reward was confirmed.
Profile field
Safe harbor
Meaning
Full, partial, stated, or not stated according to the official policy wording.
Profile field
Program Targets
Meaning
Available in-scope and out-of-scope entries. An empty section does not mean the policy has no scope.

Notification Rules have separate streams for newly verified paid programs and newly verified VDPs. Paid Self-Hosted alerts start enabled; VDP alerts start disabled so no-reward policies do not add noise unless you opt in.

  1. Connect Telegram

    Use a private Telegram chat for rules personalized to your account.
  2. Open Notification Rules

    Enable Self-Hosted bounties, Self-Hosted VDPs, or both.
  3. Set filtered mode if needed

    Select Self-Hosted in Platforms and add compatible program-level filters such as reward bounds or program includes and excludes.
  4. Save the rule

    Wait for the saved confirmation before leaving the page.

Self-Hosted entries do not currently have the platform catalog’s opportunity tiers, submission-cost signals, target-change history, or repository-change stream. Filters that require one of those unavailable signals do not make the signal appear.

Build Self-Hosted alert rulesChoose paid or VDP streams and review matching behavior.
  • Reward information can be incomplete when the official policy does not publish exact amounts
  • An empty target inventory does not mean every asset is allowed
  • Policies, scope, rewards, and reporting routes can change
  • Self-Hosted profiles and active targets are available through the Pro API and MCP; opportunity tiers, target-change history, and repository changes remain unavailable for this catalog

If anything in a profile conflicts with the official policy, stop and follow the official policy. Use the profile links to review the current rules directly.
