Cyber Security Policy
DropBG (dropbg.io) • Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure
Policy
We appreciate your interest in helping us improve our security. Please follow the rules below to mitigate any risk of legal implications.
Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Guidelines
- Avoid unauthorized sharing. During the coordinated disclosure process, please only discuss the vulnerability with the affected vendor, the system owner, and us.
- Give time for a fix. Wait to publicly disclose the vulnerability until the affected parties have had sufficient time to address it, or until you and all parties—including DropBG—have reached a disclosure agreement.
- Keep interactions to a minimum. After you have reported a vulnerability, do not interact with the affected system again during the coordinated disclosure process.
- Limit your scope. When demonstrating a proof of concept, only perform the minimum actions necessary. Do not download, modify, or delete any data beyond what is required.
- Do not exceed your access. Avoid elevating privileges or exploring a system beyond the minimum needed for your proof of concept. Use only your own accounts for testing and never exfiltrate other users' data.
- Use ethical methods. Do not use brute-force or social engineering techniques to gain access to a system.
- Avoid malicious actions. Do not conduct denial-of-service attacks or install malware or viruses.
- Provide IP addresses. Whenever possible, include the IP addresses you used during your discovery. This helps us assess potential exploitation and reduce false positive alerts.
- Communicate your plans. If you intend to publicly disclose your findings, for example, in a talk or article, please let us know ahead of time.
What to Expect from Our CVD Program
- Legal Protections. As long as you follow our guidelines, act in good faith, and have no malicious intent, you will not face civil or criminal action from us for reporting a vulnerability.
- Confidentiality & Anonymity. Your report will be treated as confidential. You can choose to remain anonymous, and we will not share your personal data with any third parties without your explicit consent.
- Recognition. We are happy to credit you by name or nickname as the reporter of a vulnerability once the issue is resolved.
- Timely Response. You will receive a confirmation of your report within 3 business days, and we will triage the issue within 5 business days.
- Communication. We will keep you informed about the progress of the vulnerability remedy, and in the case of a CVE publication, we will coordinate the disclosure with all involved parties.
- Wall of Fame Recognition. We are an independent project and do not offer monetary bounties or cash rewards. In recognition of your contribution, we will gladly feature your name or handle on our public Security Wall of Fame (unless you prefer to remain anonymous).
To report a vulnerability, email dropna@pm.me. Our RFC 9116 security file is available at /.well-known/security.txt.
