Welcome to the researcher dashboard! This dashboard will be your homepage - here you can view stats such as your current Bugcrowd researcher ranking, and total points earned. More importantly, this page will display actionable performance metrics you can utilize to help understand the necessary performance adjustments needed to attain personal goals and achieve Bugcrowd accolades.

Below is a breakdown of the dashboard:

User Details

User details are located at the top and include your researcher avatar photo, username, biography, ID verification, and background check verification

Bugcrowd Rank

Your Bugcrowd rank reflects your overall standing in the crowd. Your rank is determined by your total number of kudos points compared to other researchers. The more kudos points you have, the higher your rank.

Points Earned

Points Earned represents the total number of kudos points you have earned since joining the crowd. You are awarded points each time one of your submissions have been marked valid.

Private Bug Bounty Qualification Tips

This section of the dashboard, located on the right-hand side, and the learn more link delivers insight and guidance to help you qualify for private program invites.

Performance Stats

Performance stats deliver charts and metrics to help you better understand your overall bug bounty performance on Bugcrowd.

Below is a brief snapshot of each metric displayed on the dashboard:

Total Valid Vulnerabilities

This number represents the total number of vulnerabilities accepted as valid. These include submissions labeled as unresolved, resolved, duplicate, or won't fix.

Accuracy Rating

Your accuracy rating measures your ability to consistently submit valid vulnerabilities. This metric is calculated by dividing your total number of valid vulnerabilities submitted over your total number of submissions. Valid submission include submissions labeled as unresolved, resolved, duplicate, or won't fix.

Average Technical Severity

Your average technical severity represents your ability to submit high technical severity vulnerabilities. This stat is measured by looking at all of your valid vulnerabilities and adding up the total number by its technical severity, based on a scale from 1 to 4 (1 representing a P1, the most critical vulnerability, and 4 representing a P4, the lowest critical vulnerability) and dividing that number by total valid submissions. Ex: P1 = 2, P2 = 0, P3 = 3, and P4 = 4 ---> total = 1+1+3+3+3+4+4+4+4 = 28/9 = average technical severity = 3.11

Reported Vulnerabilities - Volume

By selecting the volume tab seen in the image below, you can view your total number of submission (valid and non-valid) over X period of time via a bar graph. Dependent on the selected timeframe, you may view your total number of submissions over the last month, the last 90 days, year to date, or all time.

Reported Vulnerabilities - Technical Severity

By selecting the severity tab seen in the image below, you can view your total number of valid submission over X period of time via a bar graph. The color coordinated bar graph represents the volume of submissions categorized by its technical severity. Dependent on the selected timeframe, you may view your total number of valid submissions over the last month, the last 90 days, year to date, or all time.

Researcher Profile Visibility

The researcher dashboard is for personal use and may only be seen by you, once you've logged into the Crowdcontrol platform. You may also share your Bugcrowd performance with the rest of the world by setting your researcher profile public. This can be done in the upper right-hand corner of your researcher dashboard by sliding the profile visibility toggle to public.
