Vulnerability Report Triage

New reports arrive on HackerOne from independent researchers describing a possible weakness, and each needs an initial read before anyone decides what to do with it. A Beam agent can read an incoming report against the program's approved criteria, such as whether the affected asset is in scope and whether the description matches a known issue type, and apply the agreed severity label. It updates the report's status and notifies the assigned engineer once the label is set. Reports that are ambiguous, out of scope, or disputed are left untouched by the agent and routed to a human triager for the final call.

Bug Bounty Program Management

Running a bug bounty program means keeping scope documents, reward tables, and response time targets current as the program matures. A Beam agent reading the program's current scope and reward settings can check a new submission against those documents and note whether the reported asset and severity match an existing payout tier. Where the match is clear, it can update the submission with the standard reward reference for the engineer to confirm. It does not set payout amounts itself. Any submission that falls outside the documented scope, or where the researcher disputes the applied tier, goes to a human program manager to resolve.

Attack Surface Coverage

A HackerOne program's scope document lists which domains, apps, and APIs researchers are allowed to test, and that list changes as a company adds or retires systems. A Beam agent can read the current scope alongside a company's asset inventory and note assets that appear in one list but not the other, where the connectors expose that data. It updates a shared tracking sheet with the discrepancy rather than editing the program's scope directly. Deciding whether to add a newly found asset to scope, or to retire an old one, is a program decision left to a human security lead.
