  • Critical bugs, e.g. SQL injection, remote code execution
  • Out of scope: denial-of-service attacks, bugs in third-party products, social engineering attacks, username enumeration, bugs in very old web browsers
  • Most of the common "configuration errors" (such as TRACE, HSTS, TLS) have already been mentioned multiple times and we are not planning to change.
