VLC Media Player 3.0.7 was released on Friday and contained the most security updates ever in one release of the program. The president of the VideoLan non-profit organization states that this was due to their inclusion in the EU-FOSSA bug bounty program.
Last year, the European Commission announced that they were expanding their Free and Open Source Software Audit (FOSSA) project to support bug bounty programs for free and open source programs that they use.
As VLC Media Player is one of the products used by the EU Commission, it was added to a bug bounty program at HackerOne where they are sponsored by EU-FOSSA.
