Earn over 6x our usual bounty rates, up to $10,000, for all vulnerabilities submitted through May 27th, 2024 when you opt to have Wordfence handle responsible disclosure!

On March 1st, 2024, during our second Bug Bounty Extravaganza, we received a submission for a Privilege Escalation vulnerability in miniOrange’s Malware Scanner, a WordPress plugin with more than 10,000+ active installations, and our Wordfence Threat Intelligence team identified the same vulnerability in miniOrange’s Web Application Firewall, a WordPress plugin with more than 300+ active installations. This vulnerability makes it possible for an unauthenticated attacker to grant themselves administrative privileges by updating the user password.
