How one bug bounty researcher chooses the features they investigate

How one bug bounty researcher chooses the features they investigate

@vaib25vicky, a VIP researcher in GitHub’s Security Bug Bounty Program, selects complex, difficult-to-understand features rather than specific bug classes, then uses and probes them until unusual behavior reveals a confirmed issue. Specializing in authorization and access control, they say AI improves productivity but requires human direction and verification. GitHub’s restructured program rewards consistent quality, offering VIP researchers faster responses, beta previews, and payouts up to $30,000 or more for critical findings.
