Program Overview

Oasis is a privacy layer for Web3 with native high performance and cross-chain interoperability.

For more information about Oasis, please visit https://oasisprotocol.org/

Oasis provides rewards in USDC, denominated in USD. For more details about the payment process, please view the Rewards by Threat Level section further below.

KYC Requirement

Oasis will be requesting KYC information in order to pay for successful bug submissions. The following information will be required:

  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Proof of address (either a redacted bank statement with address or a recent utility bill)
  • Copy of Passport or other Government issued ID

Eligibility Criteria

Security researchers who wish to participate must adhere to the rules of engagement set forth in this program and cannot be:

  • On OFACs SDN list
  • Official contributor, both past or present
  • Employees and/or individuals closely associated with the project
  • Security auditors that directly or indirectly participated in the audit review

Responsible Publication

Oasis adheres to category 3 - Approval Required. This Policy determines what information researchers are allowed to make public from their submitted bug reports. For more information about the category selected, please refer to our Responsible Publication page.

Primacy of Impact vs Primacy of Rules

Oasis adheres to the Primacy of Impact for the following impacts:

  • Blockchain/DLT: Critical
  • Blockchain/DLT: High
  • Blockchain/DLT: Medium
  • Web/App: Critical

Primacy of Impact means that the impact is prioritized rather than a specific asset. This encourages security researchers to report on all bugs with an in-scope impact, even if the affected assets are not in scope. For more information, please see Best Practices: Primacy of Impact

When submitting a report on Immunefi’s dashboard, the security researcher should select the Primacy of Impact asset placeholder. If the team behind this project has multiple programs, those other programs are not covered under Primacy of Impact for this program. Instead, check if those other projects have a bug bounty program on Immunefi.

If the project has any testnet and/or mock files, those will not be covered under Primacy of Impact.

All other impacts are considered under the Primacy of Rules, which means that they are bound by the terms and conditions set within this program.

Proof of Concept (PoC) Requirements

A PoC, demonstrating the bug's impact, is required for this program and has to comply with the Immunefi PoC Guidelines and Rules.

Known Issue Assurance

Oasis commits to providing Known Issue Assurance to bug submissions through their program. This means that Oasis will either disclose known issues publicly, or at the very least, privately via a self-reported bug submission.

In a potential scenario of a mediation, this allows for a more objective and streamlined process, in order to prove that an issue is known. Otherwise, assuming the bug report is valid, it would result in the report being considered as in-scope, and due a reward.

Public Disclosure of Known Issues

Bug reports covering previously-discovered bugs (listed below) are not eligible for a reward within this program. This includes known issues that the project is aware of but has consciously decided not to “fix”, necessary code changes, or any implemented operational mitigating procedures that can lessen potential risk. Github issues can be found here: https://github.com/oasisprotocol

Feasibility Limitations

The project may be receiving reports that are valid (the bug and attack vector are real) and cite assets and impacts that are in scope, but there may be obstacles or barriers to executing the attack in the real world. In other words, there is a question about how feasible the attack really is. Conversely, there may also be mitigation measures that projects can take to prevent the impact of the bug, which are not feasible or would require unconventional action and hence, should not be used as reasons for downgrading a bug's severity.

Therefore, Immunefi has developed a set of feasibility limitation standards which by default states what security researchers, as well as projects, can or cannot cite when reviewing a bug report.

Immunefi Standard Badge

By adhering to Immunefi’s best practice recommendations, Oasis has satisfied the requirements for the Immunefi Standard Badge.

Rewards by Threat Level

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System V2.3.

Reward Calculation for Critical Level Reports

For critical Blockchain/DLT bugs, the reward amount is 10% of the funds directly affected, capped at the maximum critical reward USD 100 000. However, a minimum reward of USD 10 000 is to be rewarded in order to incentivize security researchers against withholding on a bug report.

For critical Blockchain/DLT bugs with a non-funds-at risk impact, the reward will be paid out as follows:

  • Network not being able to confirm new transactions (total network shutdown and does not include network level DDoS attack) [USD 10 000]
  • Unintended permanent chain split requiring hard fork (network partition requiring hard fork) [USD 10 000]
  • Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork) [USD 10 000]

Reward Payment Terms

Payouts are handled by the Oasis team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payments are done in USDC.

Impacts in scope

Only the following impacts are accepted within this bug bounty program. All other impacts are not considered as in-scope, even if they affect something in the assets in scope table.

Blockchain/DLT

  • Network not being able to confirm new transactions (total network shutdown)
    Critical
    Impact
  • Direct loss of funds
    Critical
    Impact
  • Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork)
    Critical
    Impact
  • RPC API crash affecting projects with greater than or equal to 25% of the market capitalization on top of the respective layer
    High
    Impact
  • Shutdown of greater than or equal to 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network
    Medium
    Impact
  • A bug in the respective layer 0/1/2 network code that results in unintended smart contract behavior with no concrete funds at direct risk

Out of Scope & Rules

These impacts are out of scope for this bug bounty program.

All Categories:

  • Impacts requiring attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
  • Impacts caused by attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (governance, strategist) except in such cases where the contracts are intended to have no privileged access to functions that make the attack possible
  • Impacts relying on attacks involving the depegging of an external stablecoin where the attacker does not directly cause the depegging due to a bug in code
  • Mentions of secrets, access tokens, API keys, private keys, etc. in Github will be considered out of scope without proof that they are in-use in production
  • Best practice recommendations
  • Feature requests
  • Impacts on test files and configuration files unless stated otherwise in the bug bounty program
