Safe Harbour
To encourage responsible disclosure, we will not take legal action against security researchers in relation to the discovery and reporting of a potential security vulnerability.
This is provided that all such potential security vulnerabilities are discovered and reported strictly in accordance with this Responsible Disclosure Program.
In the event of any non-compliance, we reserve all of our legal rights.
If in doubt, please contact the "Finder" Security Team by sending an email to security@finder.com.
Communication Process - How to Report a Potential Security Vulnerability
You can responsibly disclose potential security vulnerabilities to the "Finder" Security Team by emailing security@finder.com.
Ensure that you include details of the potential security vulnerability and exploit with enough information to enable the Security Team to reproduce your steps.
Your email to us should contain:
- An explanation of the potential security vulnerability;
- A list of products and services that may be affected (where possible);
- Steps to reproduce the vulnerability;
- Proof-of-concept code (where applicable);
- The names of any test accounts you have created (where applicable); and
- Your contact information.
What happens next?
Once you have reported a potential security vulnerability, we will contact you within 72 hours with an initial response.
Going forward, we will keep you informed on our progress towards addressing the potential security vulnerability and will also notify you when the matter has been addressed.
We ask that you maintain confidentiality and do not make your research public until we have completed our investigation and, if necessary, re-mediated or mitigated the potential security vulnerability.
Please note that we do not compensate individuals or organisations for identifying potential or confirmed security vulnerabilities.
Any requests for monetary or other compensation will be deemed in violation of this Responsible Disclosure Program.
