The researcher detailed the payout: OpenAI's $6,500 covered only the OpenAI-side SSO finding, while testing against the Discourse forum — the work that actually proved the impact — was retroactively clarified as "explicitly excluded" from bug bounty scope. The bounty works out to less than a month of ChatGPT Pro revenue per affected employee.
