Images, e.g., screen captures, and other documents may be attached to reports. It is helpful to give attachments illustrative names. Reports may include proof-of-concept code that demonstrates exploitation of the vulnerability. We request that any scripts or exploit code be embedded into non-executable file types. We can process all common file types, and also file archives including zip, 7zip, and gzip.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResearchers may submit reports anonymously.

However, we recognize that public disclosure of a vulnerability in absence of a readily-available corrective action likely increases versus decreases risk. 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.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe may share vulnerability reports with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), as well as any affected vendors.

The PCLOB encourages security researchers to contact us for clarification on any element of this policy. Please contact us prior to conducting research if you are unsure if a specific test method is inconsistent with or unaddressed by this policy. We also invite security researchers to contact us with suggestions for improving this policy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Vulnerability Disclosure Policy Platform (VDP Platform) gives agencies the option to use a centrally managed system to intake vulnerability information from and collaborate with the public to improve the security of their internet-accessible systems. 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 harbor","description":"This engagement is fully committed to providing safe harbor for good-faith security research."},"collaborationEnabled":false,"additionalInformation":""},"scope":[{"id":"e3c97f64-9bdd-4821-93f5-60fe54581da1","name":"In Scope","targets":[{"id":"48175d30-a445-4272-b7e1-4b933a03341d","uri":"https://www.pclob.gov/","name":"www.pclob.gov","category":"website","ipAddress":null,"description":null,"engagementBriefTargetGroupTarget":{"id":"966a1049-65af-4005-b100-231aa1a245ea","sortOrder":0},"sortOrder":0,"tags":[{"id":"bc744424-2ab8-48c8-b938-c6d6abcdf500","name":"Website Testing","targetId":"48175d30-a445-4272-b7e1-4b933a03341d"}],"recentChangeFlags":null}],"inScope":true,"sortOrder":0,"description":null,"rewardRange":null,"descriptionHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe following systems / services are in scope:\u003c/p\u003e","rewardRangeData":{},"recentChangeFlags":null}],"resources":[],"engagement":{"id":"6a774746-5f58-4c8a-b19d-bd19fd23693f","code":"pclob-vdp","state":"in_progress","endsAt":null,"bountyId":"2e1e6243-15ad-4bf3-b9a0-7a8441668520","startsAt":"2021-07-29T13:00:00Z"},"engagementConfiguration":{"participation":"open","crowdSelectionStrategy":"none"}},"industryName":"Government","methodologyName":null,"logoUrl":"https://logos.bugcrowdusercontent.com/logos/4dae/3c3a/55b4a5fa/d8a2385a78f5df76e0cb7d76832b6c2b_D6bnZQX8_400x400.jpeg","logoBackgroundColor":"#000000","displayDisclosureTerms":true,"coordinatedDisclosure":true,"collaborationEnabled":false,"participation":"open","rewardAllocation":"no_reward","engagementTypeDetail":{"iconVariant":"vdp","productLabel":"Vulnerability Disclosure","timeboxed":false},"pausedReason":null,"lastTransitionAt":"2021-07-29T13:00:00.000Z","cancellationReason":null,"statusLabel":"In progress","routesPaths":{"brief":"/engagements/pclob-vdp","changelogs":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/changelog","submissions":null,"announcements":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/announcements","hallOfFame":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/hall_of_fames","crowdstream":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/crowdstream"},"announcementsCount":0,"knownIssuesEnabled":true,"isDemo":false,"serviceLevel":"Priority Triage","submitReportUrl":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/submissions/new","methodologyUrl":null,"progressPercentage":0,"badgeVariant":null,"userBannedFromEngagement":null,"isLoggedIn":false,"loginUrl":"/user/sign_in","scopedSubmissionsUrl":"/submissions?engagement%5B%5D=pclob-vdp\u0026sort%5B%5D=submitted-desc","isFollowing":null,"credentialsUrl":null,"toggleSubscriptionUrl":"/pclob-vdp/engagement_subscribers","engagementChangelogsUrl":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/changelog","publishedAt":"2021-07-28T21:08:20.309Z","engagementChangelogUrl":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/changelog/9ef24698-8ffc-4369-af41-f441fae07d92","createUserFeedbacksUrl":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/feedbacks","engagementCrowdstreamUrl":"/engagements/pclob-vdp/crowdstream","acceptedSubmissionsEnabled":true,"disclosedReportsEnabled":true,"engagementsUrl":"/engagements","engagementPaymentDetailUrl":null,"shouldShowHideButton":false,"engagementHiddenData":{},"totalRewardPool":null,"vrtScopeRules":{"data":[]},"vrtVersion":"1.19.1","isSubmissionPublishThrottled":false,"showIdVerificationAlert":false,"identityVerificationSettingsUrl":"https://bugcrowd.com/h/settings/identity_verification","identityUrl":null}
