Vulnerability Disclosure Program

A structured, safe, and fair process for receiving and resolving security vulnerabilities from researchers.

Every organization needs a clear path for researchers to report vulnerabilities. Our VDP platform provides safe harbor, coordinated disclosure workflows, CVE management, and professional advisory publishing — so you can build trust with the research community while keeping your users safe.

What a VDP Includes

Everything you need to run a professional vulnerability disclosure program that researchers trust.

Safe Harbor Policy
Legal protection for researchers who act in good faith and stay within scope. No threat of legal action.
Coordinated Disclosure
Structured timeline with private reporting, fix window, and public advisory publication — never full disclosure without consent.
CVE Assignment
Each verified finding receives a CVE identifier for industry-standard tracking and public reference.
Scope & Rules Engine
Clearly define in-scope assets, out-of-scope activities, severity guidelines, and researcher expectations.
Security Advisory Publishing
Publish professional advisories with detailed impact analysis, affected versions, and remediation guidance.
Researcher Communication
Built-in messaging, status updates, and transparent SLAs so researchers never feel ignored.

The Disclosure Lifecycle

How a report moves from discovery to resolution:

  1. 1Researcher discovers and privately reports a vulnerability through your program page
  2. 2Your team receives the report with automatic severity scoring and deduplication
  3. 3Triage team validates and reproduces the finding within agreed SLAs
  4. 4Fix window opens — developer works on remediation while researcher is kept informed
  5. 5Fix validated and deployed; CVE assigned if applicable
  6. 6Coordinated public advisory published (or kept private by mutual agreement)

Why a VDP Matters

Without a clear disclosure policy, researchers are left guessing how to report findings — and many simply move on. A well-run VDP turns ad-hoc reports into a structured pipeline that protects both your organization and the researcher.

Safe harbor policies are the foundation. Researchers need confidence that reporting a vulnerability in good faith will not result in legal action. Our platform makes safe harbor explicit in every program.

Coordinated disclosure strikes the balance between private remediation and public transparency. Researchers get credit and CVEs. Organizations get time to fix. Users get informed through professional advisories.
