Rewards
Bounty table
Reward based on the CyberAar final score (CVSS v4.0 × business impact) and the asset class.
How the amount is calculated (CyberAar method): 1. the technical severity is the CVSS v4.0 Base score; 2. the demonstrated business impact is scored from 0 to 10 by a weighted questionnaire (financial, data, control, continuity, regulatory, scope, safety); 3. the final score is √(CVSS × impact), to one decimal, and sets the final severity (Medium 4.0 to 6.9, High 7.0 to 8.9, Critical 9.0 to 10; below 4.0, no reward); 4. the class of the targeted asset, set before any report, selects the range, and the exact final score sets the position within it (rule of three), rounded to 5,000 FCFA. Programme Bounty Max: 500,000 FCFA; no asset of this programme is classed Crown Jewel. The detailed calculation is given on acceptance. Applies to reports decided from 6 October 2026.
Hall of Fame: entry is reserved for findings of critical severity. Other severities are rewarded per the grid below, without a Hall of Fame listing.
Physical rewards
On top of the bounty, every accepted contribution earns an item personalised with your handle. Stickers and a named badge for a first accepted finding; an engraved piece for a critical finding, or for the quarterly top 3 on the Hall of Fame.
