Rules

What the policy asks of you, and the bug types it won't reward, quoted from United States Patent and Trademark Office'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 or encounter any sensitive data.
  • Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction or manipulation of data.
  • Provide us 90 calendar days to resolve the issue before you disclose it publicly.
  • If you decide to publicly disclose a vulnerability, after the 90 calendar days, provide us 7 business day notice prior to public disclosure
  • Do not submit a high volume of low-quality reports (reports with insufficient information to take action).

Not accepted

  • Network denial of service (DoS or DDoS) tests or other tests that impair access to or damage a system or data
  • Physical testing (e.g. office access, open doors, tailgating), social engineering (e.g. phishing, vishing), or any other non-technical vulnerability testing
  • Remote Code Execution (RCE), in which ANY code is run remotely on a target machine.
