Program Overview

DeFi Saver is a management application for decentralized finance that supports multiple popular protocols, including MakerDAO, Aave and Compound.

Some of the things specific you can use DeFi Saver for include:

  • Managing your debt positions at MakerDAO, Aave and Compound, with unique leveraging and deleveraging options (Boost and Repay), as well as the option of automated position management
  • Moving your position between different protocols or converting your supplied or borrowed assets using the Loan Shifter
  • Earning interest on your DAI in our Smart Savings dashboard that enables quick, 1-transaction movement of funds between different available protocols
  • Swapping tokens in the Exchange
  • Typically, DeFi Saver is most often used for managing leveraged positions created using any of the supported decentralized finance protocols.

The bug bounty program is focused around its smart contracts and is mostly concerned with the loss of user funds and approval/auth attacks.

Rewards by Threat Level

Rewards are distributed according to the impact of the vulnerability based on the Immunefi Vulnerability Severity Classification System. This is a simplified 5-level scale, with separate scales for websites/apps and smart contracts/blockchains, encompassing everything from consequence of exploitation to privilege required to likelihood of a successful exploit.

All web and app bug reports must come with a Proof of Concept (PoC) showing economic impact. Reports without a PoC will be automatically rejected.

Payouts are handled by the DeFi Saver team directly and are denominated in USD. However, payouts are done in DAI or USDC.

We are especially interested in receiving and rewarding vulnerabilities of the following types:

Smart Contracts/Blockchain:

  • Re-entrancy

    • Signature malleability
    • Susceptibility to replay attacks
    • Weak randomness
    • Weak encryption
  • Susceptibility to block timestamp manipulation
  • Missing access controls / unprotected internal or debugging interfaces

Websites, Apps, and API:

  • Remote Code Execution

  • Vertical Privilege Escalation
  • XML External Entities Injection
  • SQL Injection
  • LFI/RFI
  • Horizontal Privilege Escalation
  • Stored XSS
  • Reflective XSS with impact

  • Internal SSRF
  • Session fixation
  • Insecure Deserialization
  • Direct object reference
  • DOM XSS
  • SSL misconfigurations
  • SSL/TLS issues (weak crypto, improper setup)
  • URL redirect
  • Clickjacking (must include PoC to be considered)
  • Misleading Unicode text (e.g. using right to left override characters)

Out of Scope & Rules

The following vulnerabilities are excluded from the rewards for this bug bounty program:

  • Attacks that the reporter has already exploited themselves, leading to damage
  • Attacks requiring access to leaked keys/credentials
  • Attacks requiring access to privileged addresses (governance, strategist)

Smart Contracts and Blockchain

  • Incorrect data supplied by third party oracles
    • Not to exclude oracle manipulation/flash loan attacks
  • Basic economic governance attacks (e.g. 51% attack)
  • Lack of liquidity
  • Best practice critiques
  • Sybil attacks

Websites and Apps

  • Theoretical vulnerabilities without any proof or demonstration
  • Content spoofing / Text injection issues
  • Self-XSS
  • Captcha bypass using OCR
  • CSRF with no security impact (logout CSRF, change language, etc.)
  • Missing HTTP Security Headers (such as X-FRAME-OPTIONS) or cookie security flags (such as “httponly”)
  • Server-side information disclosure such as IPs, server names, and most stack traces
  • Vulnerabilities used to enumerate or confirm the existence of users or tenants
  • Vulnerabilities requiring unlikely user actions
  • URL Redirects (unless combined with another vulnerability to produce a more severe vulnerability)
  • Lack of SSL/TLS best practices
  • DDoS vulnerabilities
  • Attacks requiring privileged access from within the organization
  • Requests for new features

The following activities are prohibited by bug bounty program:

  • Any testing with mainnet or public testnet contracts; all testing should be done on private testnets
  • 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
  • Automated testing of services that generates significant amounts of traffic
  • Public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability in an embargoed bounty
