Stellar
Stellar is a layer-1 open-source, decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network that provides a framework for developers to create applications, issue assets, and connect to existing financial rails. Stellar is designed to enable creators, innovators, and developers to build projects on the network that can interoperate with each other.

Assets in Scope
Impacts in Scope
Critical
Network not being able to confirm new transactions (total network shutdown)
Critical
Unintended permanent chain split requiring hard fork (network partition requiring hard fork)
Critical
Direct loss of funds
Critical
Permanent freezing of funds (fix requires hardfork)
High
Unintended chain split (network partition)
High
Temporary freezing of network transactions by delaying one block by 500% or more of the average block time of the preceding 24 hours beyond standard difficulty adjustments
High
Causing network processing nodes to process transactions from the mempool beyond set parameters
High
RPC API crash affecting projects with greater than or equal to 25% of the market capitalization on top of the respective layer
Medium
Increasing network processing node resource consumption by at least 30% without brute force actions, compared to the preceding 24 hours
Medium
Shutdown of greater than or equal to 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network
Medium
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
Low
Shutdown of greater than 10% or equal to but less than 30% of network processing nodes without brute force actions, but does not shut down the network
Out of scope
Program's Out of Scope information
These impacts are out of scope for this bug bounty program.
All Categories:
- 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
- Impacts on test files and configuration files unless stated otherwise in the bug bounty program
- Best practice recommendations
- Feature requests
- Impacts on test files and configuration files unless stated otherwise in the bug bounty program
Blockchain/DLT & Smart Contract Specific:
- Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
- Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
- Impacts requiring basic economic and governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
- Lack of liquidity impacts
- Impacts from Sybil attacks
- Impacts involving centralization risks
Prohibited Activities:
- Any testing on mainnet or public testnet deployed code; all testing should be done on local-forks of either public testnet or mainnet
- Any testing with pricing oracles or third-party smart contracts
- Attempting phishing or other social engineering attacks against our employees and/or customers
- Any testing with third-party systems and applications (e.g. browser extensions) as well as websites (e.g. SSO providers, advertising networks)
- Any denial of service attacks that are executed against project assets
- Automated testing of services that generates significant amounts of traffic
- Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty
