What is huntr?

huntr is the first specialized bug bounty platform designed to enhance the security and stability of AI and machine learning ecosystems. It provides a centralized venue for security researchers to submit vulnerabilities found in AI/ML open-source software and model file formats. huntr manages the entire vulnerability disclosure lifecycle-from submission and validation to rewarding researchers and publishing verified reports-ensuring a transparent and effective process that supports both researchers and maintainers.

Key Features

• AI/ML Focused Bug Bounties

  Exclusive emphasis on vulnerabilities affecting AI/ML open-source projects and machine learning model file formats, addressing unique attack surfaces.

• Structured Vulnerability Disclosure Process

  A clear four-step workflow-Disclose, Validate, Reward, Publish-facilitates efficient handling and resolution of security reports.

• Researcher and Maintainer Rewards

  Bounties awarded to researchers for valid vulnerabilities and fix bounties to maintainers for patching, incentivizing collaborative security improvements.

• Public Transparency with Controlled Disclosure

  Open source vulnerability reports are published publicly after a set period, while sensitive reports on model file formats remain confidential.

• Community and Resource Development

  Provides educational tools, guidelines, and a community space to support and grow expertise in AI/ML security research.

Use Cases

• Open Source AI/ML Security : Security researchers can identify and report vulnerabilities in widely used AI/ML open-source libraries to improve ecosystem safety.
• Model File Format Protection : Specialized focus on securing machine learning model file formats against exploits that could compromise AI models or data.
• Bug Bounty Program Management : Organizations managing AI/ML projects can leverage huntr to run targeted bug bounty programs that attract expert vulnerability hunters.
• Vulnerability Disclosure and Coordination : Facilitates coordinated vulnerability disclosure between researchers and maintainers, ensuring timely fixes and responsible reporting.
