In no case shall disclosure of vulnerability information to the EPA constitute a contractual or any other type of relationship with the EPA.

Accordingly, we require that you refrain from sharing information about discovered vulnerabilities for 90 calendar days after you have received our acknowledgement of receipt of your report.  If you believe others should be informed of the vulnerability prior to our implementation of corrective actions, we require that you coordinate in advance with us. \u003cbr\u003e\nWe may share vulnerability reports with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), as well as any affected vendors.

CISA has a contract with EnDyna and Bugcrowd, private companies, to manage the platform used by the public to report vulnerability information; CISA exercises general oversight of the program.  CISA does not collect, maintain, use, or disseminate any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) provided to Bugcrowd for the purposes of creating a profile on the website or reporting a vulnerability to agencies other than CISA.  Participating agencies provide their own program vulnerability disclosure policy, setting out the agency’s parameters for vulnerability disclosures, including provisions for collection and use of submitted information. Any submissions of vulnerabilities pertaining to CISA’s own information systems would be governed by the DHS VDP brief.\u003c/p\u003e","safeHarborStatus":{"status":"full","label":"Safe
