Proof of Exploit

A proof of exploit goes beyond confirming the existence of a vulnerability by showing its real-world exploitability and potential impact. It may demonstrate unauthorized access, privilege escalation, data exposure, account takeover, or security control bypass within safe program limits. In bug bounty programs, proof of exploit helps determine severity, business risk, remediation urgency, and reward eligibility.

Weakness Confirmed → Exploit Path Demonstrated → Real Impact Shown → Severity Validated → Fix Prioritized
