For many, a Bug Bounty role is a dream job, offering substantial earnings from $100 up to tens of thousands of dollars for successful discoveries.
Similar to companies like Google and Microsoft, OpenAI operates its own bug bounty initiative. Recently, OpenAI announced an increase in rewards for “exceptional and unique critical findings” from $20,000 to $100,000. By quintupling the prize, OpenAI aims to attract top talent to scrutinize its products and services, ensuring the identification of potential vulnerabilities.

It applies to P1-3 access control vulnerabilities, specifically IDORs, with bounty enhancements from $200 – $6,500 to $400 – $13,000.
Beyond enhanced payouts, OpenAI has expanded its Cybersecurity Grant Program to fund additional projects. By offering more micro-grants in the form of API credits, OpenAI enables researchers to explore and test new cybersecurity ideas and experiments.
