Rules

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

While testing

  • Let us know as soon as possible upon discovery of a potential security issue, and we’ll make every effort to quickly resolve the issue.
  • Provide us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before any disclosure to the public or a third-party.
  • Reported security issues must be original and previously unreported
  • Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our service.
  • Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission of the account holder.
  • Please don’t run automated tools against live servers without contacting us first.
  • Please don’t test contact forms and similar actions that send out emails
  • Please don’t sign up for more than one free trial on InnoCraft cloud.
  • Please submit any open source security issues directly to us, do not open security-related issues on public GitHub repositories.
