Vulnerability bounty platform Open Bounty has been criticized by security researchers after posting user-submitted vulnerability reports on a public blockchain

Open Bounty, a bug bounty platform, has come under intense criticism from other security researchers after it was discovered that user-submitted bug reports were posted on the public blockchain, according to TimCraig. Pascal Caversaccio, an independent security researcher who first discovered the issue, said it was extremely irresponsible to publicly disclose a potential vulnerability, and any hacker could sift through reports and exploit them.
