HackerOne appears to be completely broken and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Disagreements are to be expected on a bug bounty platform, but these days they just stop responding altogether and don't pay. It borders on outright fraud.

I've been trying to report a Squid RCE (CVE-2020-8450) since October. The Squid maintainers seemed unprepared for dealing with the report as they kept being unresponsive and it took 2 months to merge my patch. Maybe they're volunteers, so I can't blame them. Reported it to the bug bounty [1] which promises high rewards on January 20th and apart from triaging it, there has been radio silence since despite having invoked HackerOne mediation. I have more Squid memory bugs and I'd rather rm -rf them than go through this process again.

HackerOne used to be decent but this appears to be a structural problem now [2].
