Microsoft Expands Software Bug Bounty Program
October 7, 2014
Microsoft has long sponsored a bug bounty program to keep an eye on potential vulnerabilities in its software. This vigilance is especially helpful for the large, hulking SharePoint program and its multitude of potential loopholes. Read more in the V3.CO.UK article, “Microsoft Offers Cash for Outlook, Office365, SharePoint, and Yammer Bugs.”
The article begins:
“Microsoft has expanded the remit of its bug bounty programme to include Outlook, Office365, Sharepoint, Lync, Windows.net, Microsoftonline.com and Yammer. The expansion means bug hunters that spot flaws that could be used for cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), cross-tenant data tampering, insecure direct object references, remote code injection, server-side code execution, privilege escalation, and security misconfigurations will receive a minimum payment of $500.”
Stephen E. Arnold has devoted his career to all things search, including a strong focus on SharePoint. At ArnoldIT.com, he gives a lot of attention to the potential shortcomings of SharePoint, knowing that end users and managers alike have a good deal of trouble navigating the overwhelming platform. His SharePoint feed is a good place to find news about bugs and fixes, as well as tips related to getting the most of any organization’s SharePoint implementation.
