Vulnerability disclosure policy

We rely on the security community. Here is how to reach us, what is in scope, and the safe-harbor commitments you can rely on when reporting in good faith.

How to reach us

Email is the primary channel. We acknowledge within 2 business days and follow up with a tracking reference.

Disclosure process

  1. 1

    You report by email (PGP encouraged for sensitive issues).

  2. 2

    We acknowledge within 2 business days with a tracking reference.

  3. 3

    We triage, reproduce, and assign a severity. You receive a status update within 7 business days.

  4. 4

    We fix and verify. Severity drives the timeline; critical issues are prioritized.

  5. 5

    Coordinated public disclosure once the fix has shipped, typically within 90 days of the initial report.

Safe harbor

For research conducted in good faith and within the scope above, we will not pursue civil or criminal legal action against you. We will work with you to clarify scope before any action and to resolve issues quickly. We expect you to: avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and degradation of user experience; report promptly; and not exploit a vulnerability beyond what is necessary to demonstrate it.
