OpenAI now pays researchers $100,000 for critical vulnerabilities

OpenAI announced a major expansion of its bug bounty program, increasing the top reward for exceptional critical vulnerabilities to $100,000 and adding limited-time bonuses (e.g., doubled payouts for IDOR reports until April 30), while reiterating that model safety issues and jailbreaks remain out of scope; the announcement references a prior 2023 ChatGPT payment data leak for context.
