Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation's policy. "We" in these lines means the program, not this site.

While testing

  • Notify us as soon as possible after you discover a real or potential security issue.
  • Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction or manipulation of data.
  • Only use exploits to the extent necessary to confirm a vulnerability’s presence.
  • Do not use an exploit to compromise or exfiltrate data, establish persistent command line access, or use the exploit to pivot to other systems.
  • Provide us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before you disclose it publicly.
  • Do not submit a high volume of low-quality reports.
  • Engage in physical testing of facilities or resources
  • Send unsolicited electronic mail to PBGC users, including phishing messages
  • Execute or attempt to execute Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Resource Exhaustion attacks, or other tests that impair access to or damage a PBGC system or data
  • Introduce malicious software
