GitHub has introduced a VIP program to its bug bounty scheme to help keep it sustainable and filter out low-quality, AI submissions.
GitHub established a VIP bounty tier ($30k+ critical vs $10k open) requiring 1 critical or 2 high findings to combat AI submissions. The shift prioritizes high-impact work over volume, shaping how teams allocate security budgets and recruit researchers.

GitHub has tightened up its bug bounty program so that users have to earn a place in the VIP program before receiving similar levels of pay as before.
