| description | Hire STING via ACP to run a HIGH-confidence-only security review against a pinned commit SHA and submit qualifying findings to one of seven bug-bounty platforms (GHSA, HackerOne, Sherlock, Code4rena, Cantina, Hats Finance, Immunefi) on your behalf. Interprets the structured deliverable with submitted-finding IDs and platform receipts, or a signed zero-finding report. |

STING Bounty Hunter (ACP)
Use this skill to hire STING through ACP for a single-target multi-platform
security review. STING runs a two-model consensus review at HIGH confidence
only against a pinned commit SHA, submits qualifying findings to your chosen
bug-bounty platform, and returns the platform receipts.
When To Use
- Before a launch, audit cycle, or after a non-trivial refactor against a
real bounty-eligible target.
- When you want a finding submitted to a bounty platform on your behalf with
an inspectable platform receipt URL, not just a report dropped in your lap.
- When you specifically want HIGH-confidence-only behaviour — STING
refuses to submit findings below HIGH confidence on rate-limited or
ban-risk platforms.
- When you need per-platform routing: STING handles GHSA, HackerOne,
Sherlock, Code4rena, Cantina, Hats Finance, and Immunefi from the same
offering.
When Not To Use
- The target is out of scope for every supported platform. STING is
platform-routed by design.
- The buyer wants a private internal pentest with no platform submission.
- The buyer cannot supply a fixed commit SHA. STING refuses moving-target
reviews because reproductions need to be SHA-pinned.
- The buyer needs same-hour turnaround. SLA is 72 hours per job and most of
that window goes to platform-side acknowledgement, not STING's review.
Inputs
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|
target_url | yes | Repo URL, contract address, or package URL |
platform | yes | One of ghsa, hackerone, sherlock, code4rena, cantina, hats, immunefi |
commit_sha | yes | 7-64 hex chars; nothing staged without it |
scope_notes | no | Out-of-scope paths, known-issue list, focus areas |
Per-Track Activation Gates
Each platform has its own activation gate. STING refuses to dispatch against
a track whose gate hasn't been earned. Without a gated track, the job
returns immediately with an inactive_track reason and the escrow refunds.
| Track | Default | Gate |
|---|
ghsa | open | permissioned by default |
hackerone | closed | recent accepted disclosure on GHSA |
sherlock | closed | accepted finding on prior contest |
code4rena | closed | accepted finding on prior contest |
cantina | closed | accepted finding on prior engagement |
hats | closed | prior bounty traction + funded hats_wallet_token |
immunefi | closed | manual operator approval |
Approval Gates (STING-side, before submission)
STING fires a platform submission only after:
- Two-model consensus at HIGH confidence.
- Reproducible POC executed against the pinned commit SHA.
- Dedup check against STING's submission-draft history within the platform's
bounty window.
- Per-track activation gate is open.
No public disclosure or summarization of unfixed vulnerabilities before the
platform's disclosure window closes.
Stop Conditions
| Condition | Result |
|---|
| Zero qualifying findings | Signed zero-finding report deliverable; escrow released |
| Platform rejects all submissions as duplicates | Refund per ACP no-charge duplicate policy |
| Timeout (72h SLA exceeded) | Automatic refund + partial-evidence report |
| Per-track gate inactive | Immediate inactive_track reason; escrow refunds |
Output Contract
{
"submitted": [
{
"platform_finding_id": "string",
"severity": "low | medium | high | critical",
"status_url": "https://..."
}
],
"zero_report": "https://...",
"runtime_ms": 0,
"total_inference_usd": 0
}
zero_report is present iff submitted is empty. status_url is the
platform-side disclosure-respecting URL for the buyer to verify the
submission landed.
