Safe testing boundary
- Do not access, alter, retain or disclose another person's data.
- Do not upload malware, send spam, degrade availability or perform denial-of-service testing.
- Do not use social engineering, credential attacks or destructive exploitation.
- Stop when sensitive data or unauthorized access is encountered and report only the minimum evidence needed.
Report contents
- Affected URL or component and observed behavior.
- Reproduction steps with non-destructive evidence.
- Potential impact and suggested mitigation, if known.
- A safe way to contact the reporter when an official security mailbox is activated.
Current launch channel: use the canonical contact-status page. A journal-domain security mailbox, response targets and safe-harbor wording will be published only after the accountable operator is formally approved.
