OpenAI announces increased critical bug-bounty reward ranges and separate planned security sprint

OpenAI's 2 November 2026 publications describe increased bug-bounty maxima, including core critical product reports up to USD30K and exceptional rewards up to USD100K before conditional bonus multipliers. The same day's Cathedral-related security sprint is planned, not completed; bounty payout counts and effects are not shown. This records the implemented published programme terms and separately labels the sprint a plan, not demonstrated future security results.
