Google will pay you up to $20,000 for Chrome security bugs
It's also adding new categories to the reward program.
Google has announced significant changes to its Vulnerability Rewards Program (VRP), increasing payouts for critical Chrome security bugs. The company will now pay up to $20,000 for high-impact vulnerabilities, quadrupling the base reward amount for memory corruption bugs to $2,000. Additionally, reports of controlled reads and crashes in browser, GPU, and network processes will earn rewards of $4,000, while payouts for controlled writes can reach $20,000.
These adjustments come alongside other recent changes, including reduced Chrome rewards in May and the use of AI to enhance Chrome security in July. Google has long relied on vulnerability reports from security researchers and its own internal teams to maintain the security of applications like Chrome.
