The tech giant is offering rewards for vulnerabilities in the Teams desktop client as part of its Application Bounty Program, which will feature additional app-related bounties in the future.
The Teams desktop client bug bounty program complements the existing awards for vulnerabilities in online Teams services.
Microsoft says researchers can earn between $500 and $15,000 for general vulnerabilities in the Teams desktop client, and between $6,000 and $30,000 if they demonstrate an exploit that fits one of five scenarios.
