Responsible Disclosure Policy

Last updated: February 15, 2026

OOOSEC is committed to maintaining the security of our platform and the programs hosted on it. We value the security research community and encourage responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities. This policy outlines the guidelines for security researchers and the terms under which we provide limited legal safe harbor.

Limited Safe Harbor

OOOSEC provides limited legal safe harbor for security researchers who:

  • Act in good faith and comply with this policy
  • Do not access, modify, or delete data beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability
  • Report vulnerabilities promptly through proper channels
  • Do not exploit vulnerabilities for personal gain or malicious purposes
  • Allow reasonable time for remediation before any disclosure

Important: Safe harbor protection is conditional. Violations of this policy or engaging in prohibited activities will void safe harbor protections and may result in legal action.

Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited and will void any safe harbor protection:

  • Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks
  • Social engineering, phishing, or physical attacks against employees or users
  • Accessing, downloading, or exfiltrating user data beyond proof of concept
  • Modifying or deleting data belonging to other users
  • Automated scanning without rate limiting (max 1 request per second)
  • Testing against production systems without explicit authorization
  • Disclosing vulnerabilities publicly without approval
  • Selling or transferring vulnerability information to third parties
  • Using vulnerabilities to access systems beyond the initial proof of concept
  • Physical attacks against OOOSEC infrastructure or personnel
