Its a charlatan's promise. He fails to define security, or bug, or anything
else really, and retains the right to define it at a later time (preferably
after you've already reported it). If a company were to offer to pay you for
your services in finding bugs, but not define bug or security, and after many
years nobody was ever able to get a successful claim out of them despite
getting many submissions, it would be called Fraud.
