Wordfence's Threat Intelligence team experienced growth in 2023, launching a Bug Bounty Program that validated over 4,400 vulnerabilities and awarded $450,000 in bounties. The program emphasizes high-risk vulnerability identification and includes new incentives for researchers, such as the Monthly Bug Detector Streak Bonus and the Superhero Challenge with rewards up to $31,200. Adjustments to submission limits, bounty awards, and scope expansion aim to prioritize impactful research while supporting new researchers. Moving forward, Wordfence seeks to enhance WordPress security through meaningful contributions and continued community support.
