Description
SimpliSafe's mission is to make every home secure. Delivering on that means putting our customers at the center of everything we do to improve their safety and comfort. Our home security solutions are designed with cutting-edge technology yet are affordable to purchase, easy to install and don’t require contracts. We protect more than four million people throughout the United States and the United Kingdom against everything from intruders to fires, water damage and more. As part of our commitment to our customers, we take data privacy and security issues very seriously. By engaging with talented security researchers across the globe through programs like Bugcrowd, SimpliSafe can more effectively identify and resolve suspected vulnerabilities. Thank you for participating in our program and helping protect SimpliSafe and its customers from potential threats. Ratings/Rewards: For the initial prioritization/rating of findings, this program will use the Bugcrowd Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy . However, it is important to note that in some cases a vulnerability priority will be modified due to its likelihood or impact. In any instance where an issue is downgraded, a full, detailed explanation will be provided to the researcher - along with the opportunity to appeal, and make a case for a higher priority. Good luck, and happy hunting!

However, be aware that it is ineligible for rewards or points-based compensation. Access Use an account tied with your @bugcrowdninja.com email for all testing. We will block and restrict suspicious activity from other accounts. Submissions that involve other email addresses will be marked as Out of Scope.

When testing exploits against our Ecommerce Platform, please do not make purchases. Just include screenshots of the final checkout page with your cart, shipping address, and payment information. From there we can determine the applicability of the exploit. Our systems help keep millions of our customers safe. Testing and research on a system can impact its ability to do so.

Any vulnerabilities found in our vendors’ products, e.g., third party software libraries, fall outside this policy’s scope and should be reported directly to the vendor according to their vulnerability disclosure policy. Obviously, if we are using a vulnerable library or component and are affected by the vulnerability, that would be a finding we want to be submitted. But just utilizing a library that has a vulnerability shouldn't be a qualified finding. N-Day Policy When N-Day bugs are released to the public, we will consider these as in scope after 14 days has gone by e.g: N-day released on 01/01/2023, we would consider it in-scope on 01/15/2023 Out of Scope auth.simplisafe.com Websites on subdomains linked to from simplisafe.com are out of scope.
