Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information's policy.

While testing

  • Minimize testing to the absolute minimum necessary to prove the presence of a vulnerability. Do not disrupt system operations, modify, or destroy data.
  • Do not exfiltrate, retain, or transmit any DOE data, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), or Official Use Only (OUO) data.
  • Avoid accessing communications or stored data beyond what is strictly necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability.
  • Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) testing.
  • Physical security testing or social engineering (e.g., phishing, spear-phishing) of DOE/OSTI personnel or contractors.
  • Testing on Industrial Control Systems (ICS).
  • Requesting monetary compensation (bounties) or property rights for reported vulnerabilities.
  • Do not publicly disclose any details of a vulnerability or system data without explicit, prior written authorization from DOE/OSTI.
