🚨 Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue in CyberFind, please report it responsibly to our security team.

⚠️ DO NOT Open a Public Issue

Instead, please report security vulnerabilities privately through one of the following channels:

πŸ“ What to Include in Your Report

When reporting a vulnerability, please provide:

  • Clear description of the vulnerability
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Potential impact of the vulnerability
  • Affected versions of CyberFind
  • Suggested mitigation (if known)
  • Your contact information (optional, for coordination)

πŸ”„ Vulnerability Handling Process

We follow a structured approach to handle security reports:

1. Acknowledgment (Within 48 hours)

  • You will receive an acknowledgment of your report
  • We will confirm receipt and assign a priority level

2. Investigation (1-7 days)

  • Our security team will analyze the vulnerability
  • We will determine the severity and scope of impact
  • We may contact you for additional information

3. Fix Development (1-14 days)

  • We will develop a fix for the vulnerability
  • The fix will undergo internal testing
  • We will prepare a security advisory

4. Coordination (1-3 days)

  • We will coordinate with you on the disclosure timeline
  • We will prepare for public release of the fix

5. Public Disclosure (After fix release)

  • We will publish a security advisory
  • We will credit you (if desired) in the advisory
  • We will notify users of the update

⚠️ Responsible Disclosure

βœ… What We Expect

  • Responsible reporting: Report vulnerabilities privately first
  • No exploitation: Do not exploit vulnerabilities beyond proof-of-concept
  • Reasonable timeframe: Allow time for fixes before public disclosure
  • Coordinated release: Work with us on timing of public disclosure

❌ What We Don't Accept

  • Public disclosure before a fix is available
  • Exploitation of vulnerabilities for malicious purposes
  • Social engineering or other attacks against our team
  • Physical or DDoS attacks against our infrastructure
