Reporting a vulnerability

To report a vulnerability, please create a ticket. Please include a thorough explanation of the vulnerability. You can also send an email to security@finefriends.social.

  • Clear descriptions of any accounts used in your report and the relationships between them. Please do not use the same name on multiple accounts to avoid confusion.
  • Quality before quantity.
  • If you send a video, consider these tips:
    • Keep it short by showing only the parts necessary to demonstrate the bug once. (Remove or redo mistakes that might happen while recording.)
    • Record at a resolution where text or URLs are readable.
    • Provide commentary or instructions in your messages or video description instead of typing on-screen during the video.
    • Setting FineFriends to English while recording steps helps us quickly identify what features you use.

Keep in mind that the official scope for the responsible disclosure does only include FineFriends (websites and apps) and not other (third-party) software like the bugtracker. While we do invite you to research this other software as well, under the same terms as stated above, this does not guarantee a listing in the hall of fame.
