Bug Bounty Responsible disclosure and recognition
Responsible disclosure program: clear scope, clean rules, and recognition for the community.
Last updated: October 30, 2026
Overview & goals
ForenShield provides a structured channel to report discovered vulnerabilities. Goal: fix issues quickly, improve resilience, and recognize the community's contribution.
Responsible disclosure means mutual respect, confidentiality and cooperation on mitigation. Until the full financial program launches (planned for 2027), symbolic or public recognition may be granted depending on impact.
Scope
In scope
- Official domains: forenshield.com and subdomains.
- Documented public UI and APIs.
- Explicitly testable demo/sandbox environments.
Out of scope
- DoS/DDoS, intentional denial of service.
- Social engineering (employees/customers/partners).
- Access to third parties, physical systems, or unlisted infrastructure.
- Tests exposing personal data outside a controlled setting.
Golden rule: Proof, not damage. We prefer a minimal proof-of-concept and a clear report over a "heavy-handed test".
Reporting process
Send your reports to security@forenshield.com with a clear description, reproduction steps (PoC), estimated impact and remediation ideas.
