Bug Bounty

Welcome to the SQWARE Games Bug Bounty Program! This program rewards players and community members who report significant bugs or security vulnerabilities that could impact the integrity, security, or functionality of SQWARE Games's ecosystem. Your efforts help us create a safer, more stable platform for all users.

What Types of Bugs Are Included in This Program?

Our Bug Bounty Program focuses on two main categories of bugs: Enterprise Bugs and Game Breaking Bugs.

Enterprise Bugs

These bugs represent serious security risks that could compromise SQWARE Games's infrastructure or user data: - Unauthorized access to critical infrastructure - Exposure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) - Circumventing security protocols

Game Breaking Bugs

These are bugs that disrupt gameplay or affect the economy and user experience: - Currency or item duplication - Methods that crash or overload the server - Exploits that give players unintended advantages

Warning: Do not attempt unauthorized access to our systems under any circumstances. Unauthorized testing can result in disqualification from the Bug Bounty Program.

What Are the Rewards for These Bugs?

Our rewards are designed to recognize the severity and potential impact of each bug. Bounties are primarily paid in Points, which can be used for in-game benefits.

  • Critical Security Bugs: Up to 250,000 Points
  • Sensitive Information Exposure: Up to 125,000 Points
