Out-of-Scope Vulnerabilities
Certain vulnerabilities are considered out-of-scope for the Bug Bounty Program. Those out-of-scope vulnerabilities include, but are not limited to:
- Vulnerabilities dependent upon social engineering techniques (e.g. shoulder attack, stealing devices, phishing, fraud, stolen credentials)
- Host Header
- Denial of service (DOS)
- Self-XSS (User defined payload)
- Login/logout CSRF

- Vulnerabilities involving active content such as web browser add-ons
- Information disclosure of public or information that does not present risk to our Jolis International customers or Jolis International (i.e. web server type disclosure)
- Most Connected Commerce Cloud (C3) submissions are out of scope
- We will review C3 submissions and depending upon the level of risk we will determine if this submission will be eligible
Bounty Payments
You may be eligible to receive a monetary reward, or “bounty,” if: (i) you are the first person to submit a site or product vulnerability; (ii) that vulnerability is determined to by a valid security issue by Jolis International’s security team; and (iii) you have complied with all Program Terms.
Bounty payments, if any, will be determined by Jolis International, in Jolis International’s sole discretion. In no event shall Jolis International be obligated to pay you a bounty for any Submission. All bounty payments shall be considered gratuitous.
In the event Jolis International elects to pay you a bounty, Jolis International may make a partial payment when the vulnerability is first verified by Jolis International and then an additional payment once the vulnerability has been fixed. The format and timing of all bounty payments shall be determined in Jolis International’s sole discretion.
All bounty payments must be made to a Jolis International Account in good standing. If you do not have a Jolis International Account in good standing at the time of payment, you will not be eligible to receive a bounty (except in extraordinary circumstances agreed to by Jolis International via email from the Bug Bounty Program team).
All bounty payments will be made in United States dollars (USD). You will be responsible for any tax implications related to bounty payments you receive, as determined by the laws of your jurisdiction of residence or citizenship.
Jolis International will determine all bounty payout based on the risk and impact of the vulnerability. The minimum bounty amount for a validated bug submission is $1 USD and the maximum bounty for a validated bug submission is $100 USD.
Jolis International Bug Bounty Team retains the right to determine if the bug submitted to the Bug Bounty Program is eligible. All determinations as to the amount of a bounty made by the Jolis International Bug Bounty Team are final.
Additional Terms
+Payout ranges are based on the classification and sensitivity of the data impacted, ease of exploit and overall risk to Jolis International customers, Jolis International brand and determined to be a valid security issue by Jolis International’s security engineers. Common sensitive data elements include customer social security number, credit card number, card verification code, bank account number, login credentials and passwords. Jolis International may pay beyond the range at times when bugs are found to have significant risk.
#Please note that Clickjacking and CSRF vulnerabilities are only reviewed for sites and pages where the ease of exploit and risk to Jolis International is significant. Also, please note that, while "Logout CSRF" is a well-acknowledged issue, there are other techniques (like "cookie forcing" and "cookie bombardment") that can make it futile to defend against this attack. Also, Jolis International web sessions are relatively short lived and hence, the Jolis International will not consider reports of the ability to log out users from Jolis International as qualifying for a bounty.
Wall of Fame
In an effort to provide recognition to research partners, from time to time Jolis International may feature persons who have made significant contributions. Where selected, and upon mutual written agreement regarding acceptable attribution (email being sufficient), you hereby grant Jolis International the right to display the display name and/or attribution information on Jolis International’s Wall of Fame and such other media as Jolis International desires to publish. Either party may elect to no longer participate or publish contribution information. Jolis International has the right to remove contribution information of any person that at any time does not comply with the Program Terms or the terms of User Agreement.
Termination
In the event (i) you breach any of these Program Terms or the terms and conditions of the Jolis International Agreements; or (ii) Jolis International determines, in its sole discretion that your continued participation in the Bug Bounty Program could adversely impact Jolis International (including, but not limited to, presenting any threat to Jolis International’s systems, security, finances and/or reputation) Jolis International may immediately terminate your participation in the Bug Bounty Program and disqualify you from receiving any bounty payments. Please see our recommendations on the proper procedures for testing our applications.
Confidentiality
Any information you receive or collect about Jolis International or any Jolis International user through the Bug Bounty Program (“Confidential Information”) must be kept confidential and only used in connection with the Bug Bounty Program. You may not use, disclose or distribute any such Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, any information regarding your Submission and information you obtain when researching the Jolis International sites, without Jolis International’s prior written consent..
Indemnification
In addition to any indemnification obligations you may have under the Jolis International Agreements, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold Jolis International, its subsidiaries, affiliates and the officers, directors, agents, joint ventures, employees and suppliers of Jolis International, its subsidiaries, or our affiliates, harmless from any claim or demand (including attorneys’ fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your Submissions, your breach of these Program Terms and/or your improper use of the Bug Bounty Program.
Changes to Program Terms
The Bug Bounty Program, including its policies, is subject to change or cancellation by Jolis International at any time, without notice. As such, Jolis International may amend these Program Terms and/or its policies at any time by posting a revised version on our website. By continuing to participate in the Bug Bounty Program after Jolis International posts any such changes, you accept the Program Terms, as modified.
Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes a valid bug submission?
The bug must be in scope of our program sites, within a category of vulnerabilities that are within program scope, and found to be a valid security issue by our security engineers. Your submission must be the first of its kind as duplicate submissions will be invalid.
What is considered within the payout range of bounties?
Payout ranges are based on the classification of the data impacted, ease of exploit and overall risk to Jolis International customers and the Jolis International brand. We may pay beyond the range at times when bugs are found to have significant risk. The amount of all bounty payments, if any, will be determined by Jolis International, in Jolis International’s sole discretion.
Is my bug fixed? Where is my payout?
If you have reviewed your bug and believe it is fixed, please contact us and let us know. We will review your bug and verify if it is fixed. When your bug is fixed, your final bounty will be submitted and you will receive an email notification.
Why was my bug submission found to be a duplicate?
If the bug you have reported was already submitted by another researcher and found to be valid, we will not be able to honor similar bug submissions following that. We have had great participation from our research community. The growing volume of researchers will many times lead to duplicate bug findings. We must honor the first submission of its type and reject subsequent submissions.
What types of bugs are typically awarded on the high range of bounties?
Besides the category of bug and the risk it presents, the type of information exposed is important when determining the severity. Confidential or restricted customer personal identifiable information (PII) exposed as well as the content sensitivity of the page are factors that can facilitate a higher bounty payout.
What types of bugs are commonly rejected?
Bugs that present negligible to no impact to our customers or company. Common examples include:
- Error messages void of sensitive data
- Web server type disclosure
- Clickjacking on pages without sensitive content, authentication, or state changing actions
- Self-XSS scenarios that would require additional user interaction, including the user manually inputting the XSS payload.
- Most vulnerabilities within our sandbox, lab or staging environments. Domains utilized by customers take precedence
What should I be aware of when testing?
- Please be aware of all program criteria and scope, as well as the Program Terms.
- Do not engage in testing that can impact our customers, like denial of service, social engineering or spam.
- When utilizing personal or test accounts, they are subject to our fraud controls and filters and may act upon irregular activity.
- A proof of concept consisting of detailed steps or screen shots is helpful in facilitation of review and eventual fix.
Will any of my previously filed bugs be lost if I create a new Bug Bounty account using Jolis International login?
We want to assure you that none of the account history will be lost. You will continue to get notifications to your email for any status changes on previously filed bugs. If you need additional information concerning any open issues filed through the old portal, please contact us with the correct EIBBP number.
