# Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Policy
# How to Report a Security Bug

The Cosmos ecosystem believes that strong security is a blend of highly technical security researchers
who care about security and the forward progression of the ecosystem and the attentiveness and
openness of Cosmos core contributors to help continually secure our operations.
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in the Interchain Stack,
you can report it to our primary vulnerability disclosure channel, the [Cosmos
HackerOne Bug Bounty program][h1].

> **IMPORTANT**: *DO NOT* open public issues on this repository for security vulnerabilities.
If you prefer to report an issue via email, you may send a bug report to
<security@interchain.io> with the issue details, reproduction, impact, and other
information. Please submit only one unique email thread per vulnerability. Any
issues reported via email are ineligible for bounty rewards.

## Scope
Artifacts from an email report are saved at the time the email is triaged.
Please note: our team is not able to monitor dynamic content (e.g. a Google Docs
link that is edited after receipt) throughout the lifecycle of a report. If you
would like to share additional information or modify previous information,
please include it in an additional reply as an additional attachment.

| Scope |
|-----------------------|
| last release (tagged) |
| main branch |
Please **DO NOT** file a public issue in this repository to report a security
vulnerability.

The latest **release tag** of this repository is supported for security updates as well as the **main** branch.
Security vulnerabilities should be reported if the vulnerability can be reproduced on either one of those.
## Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and Safe Harbor

## Reporting a Vulnerability
For the most up-to-date version of the policies that govern vulnerability
disclosure, please consult the [HackerOne program page][h1-policy].

| Reporting methods |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft-db/security/advisories/new) |
| [HackerOne bug bounty program](https://hackerone.com/cosmos) |
The policy hosted on HackerOne is the official Coordinated Vulnerability
Disclosure policy and Safe Harbor for the Interchain Stack, and the teams and
infrastructure it supports, and it supersedes previous security policies that
have been used in the past by individual teams and projects with targets in
scope of the program.

All security vulnerabilities can be reported under GitHub's [Private vulnerability reporting](https://github.com/cometbft/cometbft-db/security/advisories/new) system.
This will open a private issue for the developers. Try to fill in as much of the questions as possible. If you are not familiar
with the CVSS system for assessing vulnerabilities, just use the Low/High/Critical severity ratings. A partially filled in report
for a critical vulnerability is still better than no report at all.

Vulnerabilities associated with the **Go, Rust or Protobuf code** of the repository may be eligible for a [bug bounty](https://hackerone.com/cosmos).
Please see the bug bounty page for more details on submissions and rewards. If you think the vulnerability is eligible for a payout,
**report on HackerOne first**.

Vulnerabilities in services and their source codes (JavaScript, web page, Google Workspace) are not in scope for the bug
bounty program, but they are welcome to be reported in GitHub.

### Guidelines

We require that all researchers:

* Abide by this policy to disclose vulnerabilities, and avoid posting vulnerability information in public places, including Github, Discord, Telegram, and Twitter.
* Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems (including but not limited to the Cosmos Hub), and destruction of data.
* Keep any information about vulnerabilities that you’ve discovered confidential between yourself and the Cosmos engineering team until the issue has been resolved and disclosed.
* Avoid posting personally identifiable information, privately or publicly.

If you follow these guidelines when reporting an issue to us, we commit to:

* Not pursue or support any legal action related to your research on this vulnerability
* Work with you to understand, resolve and ultimately disclose the issue in a timely fashion

### More information
* See [TIMELINE.md](https://github.com/cosmos/security/blob/main/TIMELINE.md) for an example timeline of a disclosure.
* See [DISCLOSURE.md](https://github.com/cosmos/security/blob/main/DISCLOSURE.md) to see more into the inner workings of the disclosure process.
* See [EXAMPLES.md](https://github.com/cosmos/security/blob/main/EXAMPLES.md) for some of the examples that we are interested in for the bug bounty program.
