The Bugb responsible disclosure pledge@mitigates <asset> against <threat> [using <control>]Records that a control mitigates a threat on an asset, which closes the exposure.@mitigates in the GuardLink reference
We report what we find, privately and with evidence, before attackers find it.
We look for vulnerabilities in organisations' public exposure and validate each one in a sandbox. Then we tell the owner privately, with the evidence, and the organisation fixes it.
How a disclosure runs
- FindA CXG template matches something in the organisation's public exposure.
- Validate in a sandboxWe reproduce it safely and capture the evidence.
- Report privately, with evidenceThe report goes to the owner, not to the public.
- Coordinate the fixWe work with the organisation until the fix is confirmed.
- Publish togetherAnything public, credit included, comes only after the fix ships.
