SRC
A vulnerability response platform established by enterprises or organizations to receive vulnerability reports submitted by external security researchers (white-hat hackers). After reviewing and validating reported vulnerabilities, the platform awards points or monetary rewards. It serves as an important mechanism for internet companies to manage security risks.
Core Facts
Privilege level and data access scope determine the severity of a vulnerability.
In the SRC vulnerability mining field, there is a widely used 'universal three-step method for finding vulnerabilities': information gathering, packet capture analysis with parameter tampering to verify vulnerabilities, and validating vulnerabilities and writing reports.
AI-generated vulnerability reports are only first drafts; they must be manually reviewed before final submission, otherwise handing everything over to AI for automatic submission is very likely to result in being blacklisted.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Different SRC platforms differ in their vulnerability rating standards, reward ranges, and testing boundaries, and beginners are usually advised to start with the testing scope publicly stated by the vendor.
The SRC ecosystem has a relatively low barrier: no special penetration testing authorization is needed, and as long as you test targets within the testing scope specified by the platform and submit a valid vulnerability, you can get a bounty.
SRC bug hunting is legally authorized testing; the scope of vulnerabilities and testing rules are clearly defined by the platform or vendor, and operations beyond the scope may violate the law.
Some platforms have explicit rules restricting automated bulk submissions, and submissions of excessively low quality or in large volumes of duplicates may trigger anti-abuse mechanisms and receive no rewards.
Traditional SRC vulnerability hunting can be summarized as a three-step method: information gathering, packet capture analysis and testing, and verification and report writing.
Submitting AI-generated reports verbatim is very likely to get one blacklisted by the platform, and final decision-making, reproduction, and report submission must be overseen by a human.
All legitimate vulnerability discovery must go through third-party vulnerability platforms, where vendors proactively publish authorization programs and white-hat hackers conduct testing within the authorized scope.
Vulnerability discovery can be performed with zero programming background, because a large amount of testing relies on already mature tools.
SRC vulnerabilities are typically classified into four levels by severity—critical, high, medium, and low—corresponding to different reward amounts.

65%VerifiedMost domestic SRC platforms classify vulnerabilities into four levels—critical, high, medium, and low—and at certain leading internet companies, a single critical vulnerability can yield rewards of tens of thousands of yuan, while low-severity vulnerabilities may only receive point rewards of a few dozen to a few hundred yuan.
