Ground Rules & Code of Conduct

  • The security of our products is vital to us, and we constantly strive to guarantee our users' security. Xiaomi hopes to provide solid and comprehensive security protection to our products and services by working closely with individuals, organizations, and companies around the world. To protect the interests of our users, we thank and reward researchers who help us improve security.
  • Respect users' privacy - Xiaomi hopes to respect our users’ privacy, and we oppose and condemn the actions of hackers who use vulnerability testing as an excuse, eg: exploiting vulnerabilities to steal user data, editing, copying, or stealing data from related system services through the intrusion into Xiaomi’s services, or maliciously disseminating vulnerabilities which may disclose users' data.
  • Cause more good than harm - You should never leave a system or users in a more dangerous state when you find any vulnerabilities. You shall not engage in activities that may degrade, damage, or destroy the information in our systems, or that may impact our users, such as Denial of Service, social engineering, or spam.
  • Dispute resolution - When the results of the vulnerability review are disputed, we will handle in accordance with the principle of prioritizing the interests of the reporters, and if necessary, external parties may be invited to jointly decide and introduce CVSS standard.
  • Note: This platform is for international white hats. White hats from Mainland China must submit reports to the Xiaomi Security Center via https://sec.xiaomi.com/

Disclosure Guidelines

  • Please do not disclose or discuss any security vulnerabilities (even resolved vulnerabilities) in Xiaomi products without express consent from Xiaomi, regardless of whether the vulnerability is involved in this bug bounty program.
  • Please follow the disclosure guidelines of HackerOne. If you believe you have discovered a security vulnerability, please report it with a thorough explanation of the vulnerability and comply with the format stated in the Eligibility for Bounty section.

Safe Harbor

Any activities conducted in a manner consistent with this policy will be considered authorized conduct and we will not initiate legal action against you. If legal action is initiated by a third party against you in connection with activities conducted under this policy, we will take steps to make it known that your actions were conducted in compliance with this policy.

If you have any suggestions for our program, please send us an email at [email protected] to give us feedback. If the suggestions are adopted, Xiaomi will send you a thanks reward.

Thanks for keeping Xiaomi and our users secure and safe!

Response Time

Xiaomi will make a best effort to meet the following target response time for the white hats participating in our program:

  • Time to first response (from report submission) - 2 business days
  • Time to triage (from report submission) - 10 business days
  • Time to bounty (from triage) - 14 business days

We’ll try to keep you informed about our progress.

Please do not send spam messages and follow-ups if our response doesn't exceed the target response time above. We appreciate your patience.

General Assessment Rules

  • Please include as much detailed information as possible in the vulnerability report, such as the steps to reproduce the vulnerability and the expected results of each step. If the information you submit is insufficient to help us verify the vulnerability, you will not be eligible for the reward.
  • If you discover a security vulnerability through the use of automated tools or scanners, please perform a manual reproduction and provide relevant details, otherwise, the vulnerability report may be ignored or receive a smaller reward than expected.
  • If multiple vulnerability reports are submitted, all caused by the same reason, these reports will only be confirmed as ONE valid submission. For example, vulnerabilities are caused by common server configurations affecting multiple products.
  • When duplicate vulnerability reports appear, we will verify them based on the order of submission time, and the first vulnerability report that meets the confirmation requirements will be rewarded.
  • For vulnerability reports involving third-party components, we only accept unknown or 0-day vulnerabilities, and only reward the first valid submission.
  • For vulnerability reports involving the cooperative manufacturers of Xiaomi, we only confirm the vulnerabilities that affect the products and services of Xiaomi and give reasonable ratings based on the actual situation.
  • We set up a "sheriff" service for SSRF testing. If you believe you have found an SSRF vulnerability in our production environment, please test it via https://ssrf.dun.mi.com/ssrf/hacker. Please provide the necessary information when submitting the report based on your testing results as follows -
    • If there is an echo display, a complete page screenshot of the echo display (including text length, and complete/partial echo) shall be provided in the report.
    • If there is no echo display, the content and access time of the custom field shall be provided in the report. We will verify your submitted information.
  • For the vulnerabilities related to the data leakage from cloud storage buckets, e.g. S3, KSS, FDS, etc., the following factors will be considered before confirmation -
    • whether the data or link should have access restricted,
    • if yes, the sensitivity of the data or link is exposed to the public.
  • The final assessment result of each vulnerability report depends on multiple factors, including but not limited to the severity and risk, the difficulty of being exploited, the scope of impact, and whether there are mitigation measures.
  • Xiaomi has the final decision and interpretation rights on the final assessment results, including whether a vulnerability report should be rewarded and the specific amount of the reward

Terminology Explanation

Remote: refers to exploiting vulnerabilities to carry out attacks without installing applications or actually touching the device, including web browsing, reading SMS and MMS messages, sending and receiving emails, file downloads, and wireless network communications (excluding short-range communications with a communication distance less than 10 cm) ) and other methods. Local: Refers to exploiting vulnerabilities to carry out attacks that require the installation of applications on the victim system, or require physical contact with the device and short-range communication with a communication distance of less than 10 centimeters. Restricted process: A process that is subject to stricter permission constraints than ordinary application processes, or that runs in a highly restricted SElinux (or SEAndroid) domain. Ordinary application process: refers to an application or process running in the untrusted_app or platform_app domain of SELinux (or SEAndroid), such as a third-party application process or a built-in application process without system-level permissions. Privileged process: refers to applications or processes running in the system_app domain of SELinux (or SEAndroid), including processes running with system-level permissions and processes with root permissions. TCB: TCB is the abbreviation of Trusted Computing Base, which refers to the overall protection device in the computer, including hardware, firmware, software and the combination responsible for executing security policies. It establishes a basic protection environment and provides additional user services required by a trusted computer system, including but not limited to part of the kernel and drivers, or user services equivalent to the kernel, such as init, vold, etc. TEE: TEE is the abbreviation of Trusted Execution Environment, which coexists with the Android system on the device. It is mainly used to provide Android with an operating environment for trusted computing, trusted storage , and other security services. ICE: ICE is the abbreviation of Independent Computing Environment, which refers to a combination of relatively focused functional services and an independent computing unit, firmware program, and simple OS, such as a baseband Modem.

Privacy vulnerabilities refer to violations of laws and regulations related to privacy or data protection in the country or region where the user is located. If it is not fixed in time, it will infringe the user's rights and interests, or cause negative impact or damage to the company's operations or reputation. The severity of a privacy vulnerability will be comprehensively determined based on factors such as the degree of violation of laws and regulations, the degree of damage to user rights and interests, the degree of impact on the company, and the impact scope.

Out-of-Scope Vulnerabilities

When reporting vulnerabilities, please always consider the attack scenario and exploitability, as well as the security impact of the vulnerability. For vulnerabilities that are difficult to exploit and have low impact, we may ignore this submission. The following types of issues will not be accepted and are considered beyond the scope of our bug bounty program.

FAQ

  • Will Xiaomi secretly fix the neglected vulnerability？

Absolutely not! If the ignored vulnerability is later fixed, it is possible that the vulnerability has already been discovered internally and is being fixed, or that the vulnerability no longer appears during the change of the product itself, rather than Xiaomi ignoring the report and fixing it based on the report information.
