💰 Monero Bounty: How to Contribute to MyZubster Security & Development

#issue #contribute #monero #myzubster

MyZubster is an open-source ecosystem combining a skills marketplace, NFT management, and private payments on Monero's Tari sidechain. We've recently added a transparent privacy policy and improved code security. Now we're looking for community contributions.
🔍 What is the Monero Bounty System?

The Monero bounty system incentivizes development and security through XMR rewards. Bounties are used for:

New feature development

Security research and vulnerability fixes

Translations and documentation

Maintenance of existing projects

Bug reporting and responsible disclosure

🛡️ Our Security Commitment

We recently fixed several vulnerabilities in MyZubster:
Issue Solution
CVE-2023-45857 (Axios) Upgraded to axios@1.7.9
Missing CSRF Implemented token-based middleware
Docker root Non-root user in containers
Missing CORS Configured for dev/production

This work follows the Monero Vulnerability Response Process, which establishes procedures for responsible vulnerability reporting and bounty distribution.
