Starting July 27, 2026, GitHub cuts public bug bounty payouts by at least half, with critical findings dropping to a fixed $10,000. A new invite-only VIP tier pays $30,000 or more for critical vulnerabilities. The changes aim to reduce noise from AI-generated reports while rewarding established researchers with higher pay and faster responses.
