Pandemic year increases bug bounties and report submissions

Vulnerability submissions have increased over the past 12 months on at least one crowdsourced security platform, with critical issue reports recording a 65% jump. The data comes from the Bugcrowd platform and also reflects growth in payouts as ethical hackers are hunting down more critical vulnerabilities by chaining bugs and developing proof-of-concept exploit code. Payouts for P1 vulnerabilities in this sector doubled in the second quarter of this year. At the top of the list of most submitted vulnerabilities is the human-driven broken access controls, taking down XSS.
