We take security, transparency, and the trust of our users seriously. Coalition appreciates the work of security researchers, and we’ve developed this program to make it easy to report vulnerabilities, and to recognize you for your effort to help us solve cyber risk.

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability that could impact Coalition or our users, we encourage you to let us know right away. We will investigate all legitimate reports and do our best to quickly fix the problem. We ask that you follow our Vulnerability Disclosure Policy and HackerOne's Disclosure Guidelines, and make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data and interruption or degradation of our service during your research.

Submitting high quality reports is highly encouraged. A high quality report is one that explains the vulnerability in detail, identifies its impact and most importantly which includes steps or a "proof of concept" that allows us to reproduce the issue.

Very low quality reports such as those which only contain automated output will be rejected.

DO NOT submit the following as they will also be rejected:

• Missing Best Practice, Configuration, or Policy Suggestions

• Output from Automated Scanners without a PoC to demonstrate a specific vulnerability

• Logout Cross Site Request Forgery

• Lack of Secure or HTTP only flag on non-sensitive cookies

• Email configuration issues without a PoC to demonstrate a specific flaw

Note: This program is for the disclosure of software security vulnerabilities only. If you believe your Coalition account has been compromised, change your password and contact help@coalitioninc.com immediately.

Responsible Disclosure

• Let us know as soon as possible upon discovery of a potential security issue, and we'll make every effort to quickly resolve the issue.

• Provide us a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before any disclosure to the public or a third-party.

• Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our service.

• Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission of the account holder.

In order to encourage responsible disclosure, we promise not to bring legal action against researchers who point out a problem provided they do their best to follow the above guidelines.
