Rules
What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Parity Technologies's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.
While testing
-
Use your best effort not to access, modify, delete, or store user data or Parity's data. Instead, use your own accounts or test accounts for security research purposes.
-
Don't defraud, harm, or violate the privacy of Parity Technologies, Polkadot, or its users during your research; you should make a good faith effort not to interrupt or degrade on-chain services.
-
Don't target our physical security measures or attempt to use social engineering, spam, or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
-
Initially, report the bug only to us and not to anyone else. Keep the details of any suspected bug confidential.
-
After reporting a suspected bug, give us a reasonable amount of time to fix it before disclosing it to anyone else, and seek our approval before doing so.
-
Don't make repeat submissions of low-quality, rejected, or automated vulnerability reports.
-
In exceptional circumstances, we may ask you to assist us in protecting the ecosystem by signing an NDA regarding the discovered vulnerability.
-
Please provide us with a working proof-of-concept or equivalent evidence, assuming that your research didn't produce unrecoverable changes.
-
Please do not break our (or anyone else's) stuff. If you suspect that the bug you have found may be fatal for what you are testing against, please DO NOT take further actions.
-
If you are able to compromise something significant, please STOP at the point of recognition, collect enough small evidence to understand where you are and what you can do, and report the vulnerability to us.
