Fam's Responsible disclosure policy

FamApp is committed to security, We care deeply about the safety and security of our customer’s data. We deeply value all those in the security community who help us ensure 100% security of all our systems at all times. We reward reporters for the responsible disclosure of in-scope issues and exploitation techniques.

How to Report a Vulnerability?

If you happen to have identified a vulnerability on any of our web or mobile app properties, we request you to follow the steps outlined below:

• Please submit the vulnerability report form with the necessary details to recreate the vulnerability scenario. This may include screenshots, videos or simple text instructions.
• If possible, share with us your contact details (phone number or Email), So that our security team can reach out to you if further inputs are needed to identify or close the problem.
• If the identified vulnerability can be used to potentially extract information of our customers or systems, or impair our system’s ability to function normally, then please refrain from actually exploiting such a vulnerability. This is absolutely necessary for us to consider your disclosure a responsible one.
• While we appreciate the inputs of Whitehat hackers, we may take legal recourse if the identified vulnerabilities are exploited for unlawful gains or getting access to restricted customer or system information or impairing our systems.
• Upon receiving your report, our team will start investigating the issue. We will keep you updated on the progress and may reach back for further details if needed.
• Of course, we want to compensate your effort, so for any valid vulnerabilities with a CVSS score of 4 or higher, we will reach back to you with a respective reward.
• If you come across any vulnerabilities in our products, please don't hesitate to report them by at [email protected].

Programme rules

• Don't violate the privacy of other users, destroy data, disrupt our services, etc.
• Give us a reasonable time to respond to the issue so that Our team will try to triage all reports with priority to the severity, scenario and exploit complexity. We will notify you when the reported vulnerability is remediated, and you may confirm that the solution covers the vulnerability adequately.
• Only target your own accounts in the process of investigating any bugs/findings. Don't target, attempt to access, or otherwise disrupt the accounts of other users without the express permission of our team.
• Don't target our physical security measures, or attempt to use social engineering, spam, distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks, etc.
• In case you find a severe vulnerability that allows system access, you must not proceed further.
• It is FamApp’s decision to determine when and how bugs should be addressed and fixed. Disclosing bugs to a party other than FamApp is forbidden, all bug reports are to remain at the reporter and FamApp’s discretion.
• Threatening of any kind will automatically disqualify you from participating in the program. Exploiting or misusing the vulnerability for your own or others' benefit will automatically disqualify the report.
• Bug disclosure communications with FamApp’s Security Team are to remain confidential. Researchers must destroy all artifacts created to document vulnerabilities (POC code, videos, screenshots) after the bug report is closed.

Eligibility

• Be the first to report the issue to us.
• Must pertain to an item explicitly listed under Vulnerability Categories.
• Must contain sufficient information including a proof of concept screenshot, video, or code snippet where needed.
• You agree to participate in testing the effectiveness of the countermeasure applied to your report.
• You agree to keep any communication with FamApp private.
