Bug bounty and security program overview

We take security very seriously at Achievable. If you believe you've found a security issue on Achievable, please let us know as soon as possible. We will investigate all legitimate reports and fix any issues.
We have given out rewards for reported issues on a case-by-case basis. Rewards vary depending on the security of the issue and are typically within $50 to $500 USD.
We encourage all valid reports. However, if you are simply going to run a minimal-effort scanner (e.g. Burp Suite or ZAP), please do not. We receive countless inelegible, non-exploitable "issues" from these scanners and will not reply; you will just be wasting your time and ours. Thank you.
Please also note that our access token system intentionally supports authenticating across multiple devices at the same time. If a user has signed into multiple devices, and then signs out of one device, the others should remain signed in. The persistence of access tokens is necessary to support this use case, and any request made using a valid access token from any device should succeed.

How to submit an issue report

Submit your issue report via email to [email protected], including clear and concise reproduction instructions.
Your report will be investigated by a member of our security team as soon as reasonably possible. We may contact you to request additional information. If your report is determined to be a valid issue and you are the first reporter, we will assign a reward based on the severity and send payment via PayPal.
Rewards will ONLY be made via PayPal.
