9YYL0 (h5.9yyl0.com) Bug Bounty: $5,000 Each Validated Critical — Full Scope, Kill Chain Required

9YYL0 at https://h5.9yyl0.com/ operates as a Chinese-facing online casino platform: game shells, account and wallet management, REST game and ledger APIs, deposit/withdraw gateways, player databases, admin/risk consoles, customer support tooling, and promotional engines — collectively the entire 9YYL0-operated perimeter is in-scope with no artificial carve-out appendix. Every confirmed critical validated with a reproducible exploitation chain pays exactly $5,000 USD. Acceptance requires both a numbered attack chain narration and evidence that the exploitation actually succeeds (replayable scripts that achieve admin access, dump database contents, elevate privileges, manipulate balances, or pivot to internal infrastructure — prose alone collapses payouts). Researchers still owe lawful testing in their jurisdiction; platform risk posture does not permit breaking criminal or civil rules.

01 — Overview

Casino platform worth breaking

9YYL0 is a Chinese-language online casino aggregation platform serving players across the Asia-Pacific region. The surface area is large and conventional for modern gaming — the perimeter includes player-facing game shells, wallet and balance APIs, deposit and withdrawal pipelines, customer relationship and support consoles, promotional and bonus engines, administrative backends, database backends, and infrastructure management layers.

In scope materially: every host on h5.9yyl0.com and its subdomains, backend APIs, WebSocket game channels, admin panels, database management interfaces, CDN-hosted assets and edge bundles, third-party game provider integrations, payment gateway callbacks, support ticketing tooling, and infrastructure orchestration consoles (monitoring, logging, CI/CD).
Civil exclusions only: laundering, harassment, unrelated theft — not endpoint shrinkage. Prefer test accounts where possible.

02 — Why 9YYL0?

High-value targets: admin access & database breaches

01

Admin Panel Takeover

Weak authentication, missing MFA, default credentials, IDOR in admin routing, session fixation, or SSRF into admin-only services — any path that escalates a standard player session to administrative control of the platform is a critical.

02

Database Access

SQL injection, exposed database endpoints, leaked credentials in client-side bundles, backup exposure, NoSQL injection, or pivoting through SSRF/XXE to reach writable data stores — dumping or modifying the player or financial database earns the full reward.

03

Player Data Exfiltration

Bulk extraction of personally identifiable information (PII), hashed credentials, wallet balances, game history, or KYC documentation through API abuse, broken access controls, or insecure direct object references across the platform.

04

Balance & Withdraw Manipulation

Race conditions in balance updates, integer overflow in wallet operations, negative balance bugs, unauthorized withdrawal from another player's account, or bypassing withdrawal approval workflows.

05

Infrastructure Pivot

SSRF from game servers or API workers to internal metadata services, cloud provider APIs, CI/CD pipelines, logging infrastructure, or database clusters — any pivot that expands access to the internal network.

06

Game Logic Exploitation

Predictable random number generation, replay attacks on game outcomes, manipulation of bonus/promotional logic, or bypassing game result verification — demonstrated with live platform proof.

03 — Rewards

$5,000 per validated critical

Every validated critical-severity vulnerability with a reproducible kill chain on the 9YYL0 perimeter pays $5,000 USD each. Novel low-severity items may qualify for goodwill credit but not this stipend. Paid rows require attacker-readable kill chains and replayable exploitation artefacts (Burp exports, SQL dump captures, admin session replays, balance manipulation traces, database query logs showing data extraction).

Critical $5,000 USD ea.

Admin panel compromise with demonstrable platform control; bulk database extraction (player PII, balances, KYC); unauthorized withdrawal from any player account; RCE on game or API servers; SSRF break-out to cloud metadata or database clusters; privilege escalation from player to super-admin.

  • SQL injection leading to writable database shell or full data dump
  • Default or guessable admin credentials granting backend console access
  • IDOR or missing access control on admin/management API endpoints
  • Server-side request forgery to internal infrastructure services
  • Authentication bypass — session, token, or SSO compromise
Operational truth: If you can't yet prove the exploitation reaches an admin panel or extracts a database row inside 9YYL0's trust boundary, iterate on mirrors until logs objectively show success — triage shelves "maybe" theories.

05 — Scope policy

Everything 9YYL0 operates — no exclusions list

Sandbox game environments, staging databases, canary player clusters, Telegram/bot hooks for risk alerts, CDN origins hosting unlisted admin paths, internal API gateways behind WAF — all eligible when critical impact reproduces.

  • Subdomains not listed in the main UI — enumerate and include DNS/traffic proof
  • Internal-facing APIs discovered through JS source mapping or mobile app traffic
  • Third-party provider callback endpoints showing 9YYL0-issued secrets in transit
  • Cloud infrastructure metadata endpoints reachable from game or API servers
Legal floor (not bounty shrink): laundering, indiscriminate draining of unrelated wallets, harassment, denial of service against production game servers — always off-limits even if endpoints tempt you.
06 — Rules

Rules of engagement

  1. Prove exploitation success. Provide scripts, HARs, SQL dump excerpts, admin session screenshots, or network captures showing platform impact — not paper analysis alone.
  2. Number your hops. Public entry point → privilege escalation or data access → admin control or database extraction.
  3. Minimize real-user blast radius. Prefer test accounts, low-value wallets, and non-destructive payloads when demonstrating theft-class bugs.
  4. Private coordination first. Use the submission form below before any public disclosure.
  5. Duplicate fairness. First qualifying PoC wins; finding variations of the same root cause does not multiply payouts.
  6. Auth & session paths: demonstrate escalation from low-privilege to admin. Showing a session token leak alone is not critical unless you also show the exploitation path.
  7. Database access: proving SELECT is sufficient for data-exfiltration criticals. Prove you reached the database layer and extracted identifiable player data — schema dumps combined with row samples.

08 — Example

SQL injection · full database dump with PoC

Illustrative SQL injection in a game lobby search endpoint — worthless without traces showing actual row extraction from h5.9yyl0.com.

// BUGGY: unsanitized parameter concatenated into SQL query — full database accessible
async function searchGames(query) {
  const sql = `SELECT * FROM games WHERE name LIKE '%${query}%'`;
  const results = await db.query(sql);
  return results;
}
// Exploitation: UNION-based injection extracts admin credentials table
GET /api/games/search?q=' UNION SELECT username,password_hash,role FROM admins-- HTTP/1.1
Host: h5.9yyl0.com
A winning report pairs this vulnerability class with actual extracted rows from the live database and a path to admin authentication.
09 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What counts as admin access?

Authenticated session on any backend management console — player management, game configuration, financial review, risk/anti-fraud, or system administration. Session hijacking, credential compromise, SSRF to admin-only endpoints, or horizontal privilege escalation all qualify.

What counts as database access?

Read or write access to any production database — player accounts, game history, financial transactions, KYC records. SQL injection, leaked credentials, exposed database ports, backup file exposure, NoSQL injection, or pivoting from API servers to data stores.

Is the mobile app in scope?

Yes when 9YYL0 operates and distributes it; mirror production auth & API semantics.

Duplicates?

Fastest fully valid PoC wins treasury.

Lower severities?

Not under the $5K critical rubric — escalate impact or accept non-cash acknowledgement.

Is third-party game provider scope included?

When the integration runs under 9YYL0's domain, uses 9YYL0-issued API keys, or handles 9YYL0 player data — yes. Provider-hosted components behind their own auth are not in scope.

I found something but can't prove the full chain — what should I do?

Submit it anyway under a lower severity classification. The editorial team may still flag it for review if the root cause is novel and the exploitation path is plausible with additional work.
