Who this template is for
Bug Bounty Report Form is built for engineering, IT and product teams who need to route technical requests with the context needed to triage them.
- Engineering, IT and product teams working in technology, saas & dev.
- Teams who need to route technical requests with the context needed to triage them without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing vague reports that can't be reproduced or prioritised with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are users, testers and internal stakeholders — the form asks them 12 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of vague reports that can't be reproduced or prioritised and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 8 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.
How to use this template
From copy to live form is a few minutes of work, and every step is reversible.
- 1Press “Use this template” — a fresh copy of Bug Bounty Report Form lands in your workspace, ready to edit.
- 2Rename or delete any question, and change what is required. Nothing here is fixed.
- 3Open Notifications and add the email addresses that should be alerted on each submission; add an auto-reply to the respondent if the form collects an email address.
- 4Check the upload limits on the file question so respondents can attach what you actually need.
- 5Publish it, then either share the link directly or paste the embed snippet into your site — the embedded form resizes to fit and loads no marketing or advertising trackers.
- 6Watch responses land in Submissions, where you can filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF.
Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Severity (your assessment)” is Critical, “Steps to reproduce” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Have you already disclosed this publicly?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Where was it disclosed?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Vulnerability type” is Other, the form dynamically exposes “Please describe the vulnerability type”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How is this different from the Software Bug Report or Quick Bug Report templates?
Those are built for ordinary product bugs reported by users or QA — functional issues, not security vulnerabilities. This form adds severity self-assessment, vulnerability classification and a responsible-disclosure agreement that a security-specific intake needs.
Should severity be decided by the researcher's answer?
No — use it as a starting point for triage only. Your security team should independently confirm severity based on internal impact and exploitability before deciding on remediation priority or reward.
Do I need the disclosure agreement checkbox?
Yes, it's standard practice for responsible disclosure programs — it sets a clear expectation that the researcher will hold public disclosure until a fix is live, protecting users in the meantime.
What if the researcher wants to stay anonymous?
You can make the name and email fields optional, but note that anonymous reports usually can't receive a bounty payout or follow-up questions if the reproduction steps are unclear.
Is the Bug Bounty Report Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Bug Bounty Report Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Bug Bounty Report Form template ask for?
It asks 12 questions across 2 pages, 8 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.
Can I edit the Bug Bounty Report Form form after copying it?
Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.
How does the conditional logic in this technology, saas & dev form work?
3 conditional rules ship with the template: Features conditional validation: if “Severity (your assessment)” is Critical, “Steps to reproduce” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent. Features advanced show logic: if “Have you already disclosed this publicly?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Where was it disclosed?”. Otherwise that question never appears. Features advanced show logic: if “Vulnerability type” is Other, the form dynamically exposes “Please describe the vulnerability type”. Otherwise that question never appears. All rules are editable in the Logic tab.
Where do responses to the Bug Bounty Report Form form go?
Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.
Can I embed the Bug Bounty Report Form form on my own website?
Yes. Publish the form and paste the embed snippet into any page or share the direct link. The embedded form resizes to fit its container and loads no advertising or marketing trackers inside the iframe.
Can respondents upload files?
Yes. This template includes a file upload question, so respondents can attach documents or photos with their answers. You can adjust the accepted file types and size limits on that question.
