GitHub announced changes to its bug bounty program effective July 27, 2026, including a new invite-only VIP program with higher payouts and faster response, a simplified public payout table keyed to severity, and adoption of HackerOne’s signal requirement to limit low-effort and AI-generated submissions; reports filed before the effective date will be handled under the previous structure.
