Vulnerability disclosure
Report a security issue
A security firm without a published vulnerability disclosure policy is a tell. This is identity rather than compliance: we ask clients to accept reports about their systems from us, so we publish how we accept them about ours.
You do not need to sign a non-disclosure agreement to report a finding, you do not need an account, and you do not need to know anyone here.
Acknowledgement
Acknowledgement within one business day, from a person.
Triage
A triage decision — accepted, duplicate, out of scope, or not a vulnerability — within five business days, with the reasoning.
No NDA, no account
You do not need to sign a non-disclosure agreement to report a finding, you do not need an account, and you do not need to know anyone here.
No legal action
We will not pursue legal action against good-faith research conducted within the scope below, and we will not report you to law enforcement for it. If a third party brings action against you for research we are satisfied was conducted in good faith under this policy, we will say so publicly and in writing.
Send the report
Include what you did, what happened, and enough detail for us to reproduce it. A reproduction path is worth more than a severity score — we will do the scoring.
Scope and rules of engagement
Scope
In scope: envenox.com and its subdomains, and the Envenox engagement platform.
- Out of scope: anything belonging to a client. If you find something in a client system, report it to them, not to us — and if you cannot identify the owner, tell us and we will try to route it without disclosing who they are.
- Out of scope: denial of service, volumetric testing, physical intrusion, and social engineering of our staff or suppliers.
- Out of scope: reports generated by a scanner with no manual verification, missing-header findings with no demonstrated impact, and best-practice recommendations without an exploit path. We will read them; we will probably close them as informational, and we will say why.
Rules of engagement
Use only accounts you own or have permission to test. Stop at proof of concept — do not read, modify, exfiltrate or destroy data belonging to anyone else, and do not pivot further than you need to demonstrate the issue. If you access personal data accidentally, stop, tell us, and delete it.
Give us a reasonable period to fix the issue before disclosing publicly. We suggest 90 days and will usually be faster; if we think an issue needs longer we will tell you why and ask rather than assume.
