2025 Methodology: Reporting

Business logic impact mapping and CVSS validation

📝 Impact-Driven Vulnerability Reporting (2025)

The 2025 reporting stage prioritizes proving clear technical and business impact to maximize bounty tier payouts.

📝 Reporting Workflow

A professional report must demonstrate real-world impact:

  1. Descriptive Title: State target, vuln type, and maximum impact (e.g. Account Takeover via OAuth Misconfiguration on target.com/oauth/callback).
  2. Technical Details: Raw HTTP requests/responses, payload string, and tool configuration.
  3. Business Impact: Explain what an attacker could do (e.g. read customer PII, edit configurations, hijack admin sessions).
  4. CVSS v3.1 calculation: Detail vectors mathematically to agree on severity rating with triagers.
