Today we celebrate the five year anniversary of #curl's bug-bounty. It has resulted in 69 reported vulnerabilities and almost 80,000 USD payouts. Out of a total of 439 submissions. 86 of them were considered "informative", which mostly means they were handled as normal bugs.

What changed around 2013? Were there tools or practices introduced that started uncovering security issues? Or was it just more time dedicated to security issues? More eyes?

@worr I don't think anything in particular changed, maybe that we slowly got more eyes involved in the looking for issues

Thanks for sharing these numbers!

I'm curious, is it possible to also get a breakdown by severity for the reported ones?
