Bug Bounty Codex Plugin
A local assistant plugin that brings structure and discipline to authorized, scoped security research — from scope review to a well-written report.
Bug Bounty is a local plugin that packages a disciplined methodology for authorized security research. A lot of what separates good, responsible research from sloppy work is process: staying inside the agreed scope, confirming you are testing something you are allowed to, keeping clean evidence, and writing a report the recipient can actually act on. This plugin encodes that process so it is followed consistently.
It is built around scoped, permissioned testing. Before work starts it reviews the program's scope, and throughout it favours a careful, low-volume approach, validation against assets you are authorized to test, and redaction of sensitive evidence. It organises an engagement into clear stages — scope review, planning, assessment and review — and provides templates for findings and for validating and writing them up.
The emphasis is on rigour and reporting quality rather than on raw automation: the goal is responsible research that holds up to scrutiny.
