Why it matters

Bug bounty programs increasingly put AI features in scope, and this guide points defenders and testers to the high-impact surfaces (ingestion pipelines, tool calls, MCP servers, agentic browsers) beyond trivial chat-box prompt injection.

Raj Namdev's guide maps where exploitable bugs hide in AI-in-scope bug bounty programs, noting a 270% growth in AI-scoped programs and a 540% jump in prompt injection reports. The piece argues the paid bugs live in four surfaces around the model — the ingestion pipeline, tool calls, MCP servers, and agentic browsers — and walks through how to test each.
