Riot Games Offers Up to $100,000 for Vanguard Security Vulnerabilities

Riot Games is offering up to $100,000 in bounties for finding vulnerabilities in its anti-cheat system, Vanguard.

The program targets exploits within Vanguard’s kernel-level driver, a key part of Riot’s effort to reduce cheating in Valorant and League of Legends.

Rewards range from $25,000 to $100,000 depending on the severity of the exploit, with higher payouts for network attacks that don’t require user interaction.

Hosted on HackerOne, the program encourages ethical hackers to submit proof of concept while maintaining confidentiality.

This initiative is part of Riot’s ongoing investment in security to ensure fair play in its games.
