In this video, we walk you through everything you need to know about the Wordfence Bug Bounty Program, including payouts, vulnerability scope, researcher rewards, onboarding tips, and how we're helping secure the WordPress ecosystem.

Whether you're an experienced security researcher or just getting started in vulnerability hunting, this is your ultimate guide to participating in one of the most impactful and well-funded bounty programs in WordPress security.

What You'll Learn:

✅ How much money you can earn (up to $31,200 per vulnerability)
✅ What types of vulnerabilities and plugins/themes are in-scope
✅ How bounty amounts are calculated based on severity, exploitability, and researcher tier
✅ What badges and bonuses are available, including the WordPress Superhero challenge
✅ How to submit vulnerabilities and whether to include a proof-of-concept video
✅ Why CVSS scores don’t determine your bounty amount—WordPress-specific risk does
✅ How to get started: tools, blog posts, Discord, and Docker images
