The dumb thing is that this "out of scope" thing is 100% a Hacker One failure, and exactly the kind of thing I've grown to expect from these triage teams.
"SPF, DKIM, and DMARC issues" is absolutely and positively intended to mean "we don't care if we are missing these headers on our domains", in part because this is 99.9% of drive-by beg bounties (if you are tired of getting "I HAVE FOUND A SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE IN YOUR WEBSITE" cc'ing security@, legal@, privacy@, and your CEO on a monthly cadence, just set up a DKIM record :P)
Yes, this is technically a bug which is in the space of SPF, DKIM, and/or DMARC. But this is absolutely NOT WHAT THE EXCLUSION IS FOR. Hacker One triage teams should know better, and it's frankly embarrassing that they don't. And it's frankly mortifying that their mediation team also didn't pick up on this.
But it checks out.
This is one of the reasons I will not use Hacker One ever. Bugcrowd is slightly better. Intigriti has (so far) been pretty good. I'm not affiliated with any of them, just have been a customer of all three.
