Trading signals & automation surfaces under stress
TV-Hub concentrates real-time trading signals, exchange API key management, automated trade execution, webhook integration, portfolio tracking, and user/admin dashboards — fertile ground for API key theft, unauthorized trade execution, signal manipulation, and cross-account data leaks. This playbook rewards only highest-impact, fully demonstrated criticals — each earns $5,000.
The platform connects to user exchange accounts via API keys, giving it the ability to read balances and execute trades on connected exchanges. This trust layer makes session hijacking, key exfiltration, and admin account takeover the highest-priority attack vectors.
In scope materially: every host under tv-hub.org, subdomains, signal relay infrastructure, webhook endpoints, API integrations, automation bots, admin panels, and database surfaces.
Civil exclusions only: fund theft against unrelated third parties, laundering, harassment — society-level bans, not endpoint lists.
Always keep sandbox mirrors humane: prove impact on isolated test accounts when possible.
1️⃣ Kill chain from root cause → exploit steps → measurable loss or integrity break 2️⃣ Proof the attack succeeds (replayed APIs showing balance drift, trade execution without authorization, admin boundary cross). Narratives without replayable exploits stall below payout threshold.
Why hammer TV-Hub?
Flat $5K critical payouts
Validated critical exploits with reproducible payloads earn exactly $5,000 USD — no spreadsheet bingo.
Exchange API key exposure
TV-Hub stores exchange API keys that can trade and withdraw — a single SSRF, IDOR, or SQLi can cascade into real fund theft across connected exchanges.
Admin console blast radius
Admin panels on tv-hub.org may control user data, signal feeds, bot fleet configuration, and fund flows — full admin access is a top-tier finding.
$5,000 per demonstrated critical
A critical finding is one that leads to database compromise, admin account or console access, drainage of user funds (via stolen API keys, exchange balance manipulation, or trade execution without consent), or any vulnerability enabling fund theft from the platform or its users.
- SQL injection, NoSQL injection, or any DB access path that exfiltrates credentials, API keys, or user data
- Authentication bypass granting admin-level access to the tv-hub.org control panel
- Server-side request forgery (SSRF) exposing internal infrastructure, secrets, or database endpoints
- Remote code execution (RCE) on tv-hub.org servers
- IDOR or privilege escalation allowing access to other users' API keys, trade bots, or portfolios
- Business logic flaws enabling unauthorized trade execution or fund movement

If TV-Hub operates it, it's in scope
Signal relay workers, exchange connector daemons, monitoring dashboards, partner webhook integrations fronted by tv-hub.org — all eligible when critical impact reproduces.
- Vanity domains CNAME'd into TV-Hub edge — show DNS/traffic proof in your write-up.
- Telegram/Discord bot integrations that relay signals or accept trade commands
- Colocated automation containers TV-Hub operates
- Staging or dev shards on tv-hub.org that mirror production
Rules of engagement
- Prove exploitation success. Provide scripts, HARs, parallel request captures, or signing traces showing fund/state impact — not paper analysis alone.
- Number your hops. Session/API primitive → escalation → treasury or book integrity break.
- Minimize real-user blast radius. Prefer test accounts, low-value targets, and reversible payloads when demonstrating theft-class bugs.
- Private coordination first. Use official intake on tv-hub.org before public threads.
- Duplicate fairness. First qualifying PoC wins; followers close acknowledged-only.
How to submit a report
Use the security / vulnerability disclosure contact published on https://tv-hub.org/ (security@tv-hub.org is a common guess — verify on the live site before emailing). Attach a clear kill-chain narrative along with replayable proof.
Unverifiable reports or those lacking demonstration of actual impact will be closed without reward.
What a critical submission looks like
// BUGGY: trusts webhook payload origin without HMAC verification app.post('/webhook/trade', async (req, res) => { const { userId, symbol, side, quantity } = req.body; const apiKey = await db.getApiKey(userId); await exchange.createOrder(apiKey, symbol, side, quantity); res.send({ status: 'executed' }); });
A real submission would pair this with captured HTTP requests showing trade execution from an unauthenticated or cross-account webhook POST to tv-hub.org, proving unauthorized fund movement.
Frequently asked questions
What qualifies as a critical on TV-Hub?
Any vulnerability that leads to database access, admin account takeover, unauthorized trade execution using other users' API keys, fund theft from the platform, or compromise of the underlying infrastructure — all pay $5,000 with a valid kill chain.
Are TV-Hub staging/dev environments in scope?
Yes — any tv-hub.org subdomain or sibling host used for development, staging, or QA is in scope if the critical impact can be demonstrated.
Does the $5,000 cover all severities?
No. Only critical findings that meet the full evidence bar pay the flat $5,000. Lower-severity issues (XSS without impact chain, informational disclosures) may be acknowledged but do not qualify for the reward.
Can I test on connected exchanges via TV-Hub?
Only if you use test accounts you control. Never execute trades that affect real users, and never drain liquidity from connected platforms. The bounty is for TV-Hub's security, not for attacking third-party exchanges through TV-Hub's connectors.
How is the reward paid?
BountyHunter Editorial coordinates the validated submission with the platform. Payment is in USD via the method agreed during validation. Expect 30-60 days for processing after confirmation.
