Scope

Brain offers the sandbox https://vapt.weservepayroll.xyz/ for testing security vulnerabilities.

All other Brain (including Brain's customer and partners) applications, websites, URLs, servers, endpoints, and other IT devices are out of scope.

How does a security professional or researcher qualify to enter this program?

The researcher and security professional has to submit their profile (Qualifications and achievements) to brain at securityincidents@brainpayroll.co.uk. The Brain team individually review your qualifications and invites you to enter the program. Once your profile is accepted by our security team, we will give you additional support and credentials of application for testing.

Typically, these are individuals who have established reputations, non-negative signals, and clear records with zero code of conduct violations. At times, we may also reach out to additional reputable individuals we believe would benefit the program.

Can I still do the security testing for Brain application even though I am not part of the program?

No. You must first submit your credential. Without the approval of Brain, you cannot be a part of program or authorize to do any security testing on Brain's application or website.

Rewards

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the severity per CVSS v3.1 Ratings.

Brain, at its own discretion, will make the final decision on the bounties and rewards for qualifying vulnerabilities.

The brain holds the right to make the final decision at its own discretion.
