Bug Bounty Year in Review
As 2025 comes to a close, we are taking a moment to reflect on the incredible discoveries, collaboration and progress driven by our bug bounty community.
This year, Adobe has actively engaged with the bug bounty community by participating in live hacking events at NullCon – the largest hacker conference in India – and the 2024 Ambassador Word Cup (AWC) led by HackerOne Brand Ambassadors. Adobe also collaborated with HackerOne to launch targeted bug bounty challenges for four flagship products – Workfront, ColdFusion, GenStudio, and Customer Journey Analytics.
Adobe Live Hacking Event at NullCon 2024
In August 2025, the Adobe Bug Bounty team participated in a series of industry events at Hacker Summer Camp in Las Vegas, including sponsorships of BSides Las Vegas and Vulnerability Vibes, and concluded the week with attendance at Defcon. Throughout these gatherings, Adobe engaged with leading security researchers and fellow bug bounty program owners at the Bug Bounty Village. These events provided valuable opportunities to network, forge new connections, and gain insights into current industry practices and hacker perspectives.

In addition to our in-person engagements, we’ve highlighted our program through a variety of podcast features. Notably, we hosted an episode focused on strengthening product security through ethical hacker collaboration, where Jasmin Landry (jr0ch17) joined us to share insights and experiences from a hacker’s perspective. We also partnered with Critical Thinking – Bug Bounty Podcast to further elevate the visibility of our program and attract top security researchers from across the industry.
Join the hunt: Adobe Bug Bounty Program
As the Adobe Bug Bounty Program continues to evolve and scale, we look forward to providing more opportunities to empower security researchers across the globe to engage and collaborate with us on the security of our products and services.
