# Bug bounty

The route for reporting a Leather vulnerability.

Leather's bug bounty runs on Immunefi. The [program page](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/leather/information/) is the authoritative source for scope, severity classification, reward tiers, and terms. Read it before you test or submit.

{% hint style="info" %}
Do not report security vulnerabilities in GitHub issues, Discord, Telegram, or on social media. Only reports submitted through Immunefi are considered for a reward, and public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability breaches the program terms.
{% endhint %}

### Where to go

* [Information](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/leather/information/): rewards, payout process, KYC, and the required report template.
* [Scope](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/leather/scope/): assets in scope, impacts in scope, and the out-of-scope list.

<a href="https://bugs.immunefi.com/dashboard/new-submission" class="button primary">Submit a report on Immunefi</a>

### Issues that belong elsewhere

Vulnerabilities in the Stacks protocol itself are outside this program. Stacks blockchain and core contract issues go to the [Stacks program on Immunefi](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/stacks/information/).

### Reporting without a reward claim

To disclose a finding without claiming a bounty, send it to <security@leather.io>. Reports sent there stay outside the bug bounty program and are not considered for payment. The prohibitions on mainnet testing, social engineering, and public disclosure of an unpatched vulnerability still apply.
