| Finding Status | Explanation |
|---|---|
| New | Once a finding is submitted by the security researcher, it will be labelled as new by default. |
| Confirmed | When the finding is valid, it will be labelled as confirmed and be awarded based on the competition prize pool. |
| Acknowledged | After a finding is confirmed by the judge, the competition sponsor will have to acknowledge and double confirm the issue. |
| Fixed | The sponsor after acknowledging issues can apply fixes to the code. This label is used for bookkeeping of issues already fixed. |
| Withdrawn | If the researcher submits an issue and decides to withdraw it for any reason, the finding will be labelled as “Withdrawn”. |
