As part of Apple’s commitment to security, we reward researchers who share with us critical issues and the techniques used to exploit them. We make it a priority to resolve confirmed issues as quickly as possible in order to best protect customers. Apple offers public recognition for those who submit valid reports, and will match donations of the bounty payment to qualifying charities.*
Eligibility
Aug 06, 2019 This would be similar to the iOS bug bounty, and reward security researchers for the vulnerabilities they discover in macOS. Back in February, a security researcher detailed a macOS exploit to access Keychain passwords, but refused to share details with Apple due to its lack of a bug bounty program for macOS. Until September 2016, Apple offered only public recognition to white-hat hackers reporting security bugs. However, Apple just announced at the Black Hat Conference (August 2016) they will offer hackers up to $200k to find bugs in its systems. The program is invite-only and will launch in September 2016. Feedback - Apple Support. Profiles and Logs for Bug Reporting. If you won't take the time to complete a full bug report then don't waste your time complaining about it here. A bug can't be squashed if you won't provide needed information.
In order to be eligible for an Apple Security Bounty, the issue must occur on the latest publicly available versions of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS with a standard configuration and, where relevant, on the latest publicly available hardware. These eligibility rules are meant to protect customers until an update is available, ensure Apple can quickly verify reports and create necessary updates, and properly reward those doing original research. Researchers must:
- Be the first party to report the issue to Apple Product Security.
- Provide a clear report, which includes a working exploit (detailed below).
- Not disclose the issue publicly before Apple releases the security advisory for the report. (Generally, the advisory is released along with the associated update to resolve the issue). See terms and conditions.
Issues that are unknown to Apple and are unique to designated developer betas and public betas, including regressions, can result in a 50% bonus payment. Qualifying issues include:
- Security issues introduced in certain designated developer beta or public beta releases, as noted in their release notes. Not all developer or public betas are eligible for this additional bonus.
- Regressions of previously resolved issues, including those with published advisories, that have been reintroduced in certain designated developer beta or public beta release, as noted in their release notes.

Report and Payout Guidelines
The goal of the Apple Security Bounty is to protect customers through understanding both vulnerabilities and their exploitation techniques. Reports that include a basic proof of concept instead of a working exploit are eligible to receive no more than 50% of the maximum payout amount. Reports lacking necessary information to enable Apple to efficiently reproduce the issue will result in a significantly reduced bounty payment, if accepted at all.
A complete report includes:
- A detailed description of the issues being reported.
- Any prerequisites and steps to get the system to an impacted state.
- A reasonably reliable exploit for the issue being reported.
- Enough information for Apple to be able to reasonably reproduce the issue.
Maximizing Your Payout
To maximize your payout, keep in mind that Apple is particularly interested in issues that:
- Affect multiple platforms.
- Impact the latest publicly available hardware and software.
- Are unique to newly added features or code in designated developer betas or public betas, including regressions, as noted on this page when available.
- Impact sensitive components.
- Are novel.
Additional Requirements
In addition to a complete report, issues that require the execution of multiple exploits, as well as one-click and zero-click issues, require a full chain for maximum payout. The chain and report must include:
- Both compiled and source versions.
- Everything needed to execute the chain.
- A sample non-destructive payload, if needed.
