Responsible Disclosure Program

Effective on: June, 2020

At Vendio, we take security and privacy very seriously. We believe that responsible security researchers across the globe are critical in identifying vulnerabilities in any technology. Vendio welcomes and encourages security researchers to report vulnerabilities with our systems and we appreciate your efforts to make the internet a safer place.

How the Program Works

Researchers shall disclose potential vulnerabilities in accordance with the following guidelines:

Let us know as soon as possible upon discovery of a potential security issue and we'll make every effort to quickly resolve the issue.
Please avoid any privacy violations, degradations and disruption to our production systems during your testing. This includes any activity that has an impact on the availability of our systems, including the use of vulnerability scanning tools.
Do not access data of other users and solely use your created accounts.
Do not attempt to brute-force or spam our systems.
Never exploit a vulnerability you discover to view data or alter data without authorization.
Do not do anything illegal. Researchers are responsible for complying with local laws, restrictions, regulations, etc.
Please keep information disclosed confidential between yourself and Vendio, until we resolve the issue. Again, we will make our best efforts to fix issues in a short time frame, but some vulnerabilities take longer than others to resolve.

By responsibly submitting your findings to Vendio in accordance with these guidelines Vendio agrees not to pursue legal action against you. Vendio reserves all legal rights in the event of noncompliance with these guidelines.

Once a report is submitted, Vendio commits to provide prompt acknowledgement of receipt of all reports and will keep you reasonably informed of the status of any validated vulnerability that you report through this program.

Vulnerability Submissions

Please report any security issues you find to [email protected]. If your submission contains any sensitive vulnerability information, please encrypt it using our PGP public key at the bottom of this page.

Please include the following in your submission:
