In scope
Introduction
We are launching this Vulnerability Disclosure Program to work with the security research community on identifying and responsibly addressing security issues in our central IT infrastructure. Please review the scope and rules of engagement carefully before testing.
Useful infrastructure information
Authentication across many in-scope services is handled via SWITCH edu-ID (login.eduid.ch), which is out of scope as a third-party identity provider.
Assets
Both conditions must be met for an asset to be in scope: the hostname is under *.unibas.ch and the resolved IP falls within the listed 131.152.0.0/16 range (after exclusions).
Out of scope
Known Issues (Last updated: 09/07/2026)
The following vulnerability classes are currently known and may already be under remediation. Reports identifying the same underlying issue across additional endpoints or parameters may be considered duplicates unless they demonstrate a distinct root cause, impact, or exploitation path.
- Reflected XSS / HTML Injection affecting existing input parameters across multiple endpoints.
- Reflected XSS identified in application pages where the underlying remediation is already being tracked.
- HTML Injection findings where only the affected endpoint differs but the vulnerability and required fix remain the same.
If you believe your finding represents a new vulnerability or bypass rather than another instance of an existing issue, please clearly explain the difference in your report.
Domains
Any domain that is not within *.unibas.ch is out of scope.
IP Ranges
Those IP Ranges are out of scope for this program
- 131.152.122.128/25

General
- In case that a reported vulnerability was already known to the company from their own tests, it will be flagged as a duplicate
- Theoretical security issues with no realistic exploit scenario(s) or attack surfaces, or issues that would require complex end user interactions to be exploited
- Spam, social engineering and physical intrusion
- DoS/DDoS attacks or brute force attacks
- Vulnerabilities that only work on software that no longer receive security updates
- Attacks requiring physical access to a victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts
- Zero-day vulnerabilities reported within 14 days of the public release of a patch or mitigation.
- Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept
Severity
This program follows Intigriti's triage standards based on the proof of concept.
