Windstream looks forward to working with the security community to find vulnerabilities in order to keep our businesses and customers safe.

Response Targets

Windstream will make a best effort to meet the following SLAs for hackers participating in our program:

| Type of Response | SLA in business days |

| ------------- | ------------- |

| First Response | 2 days |

| Time to Triage | 5 days |

| Time to Resolution | Depends on severity and complexity|

We'll try to keep you informed about our progress throughout the process.

Disclosure Policy

• Please do not discuss any reports (even resolved reports) outside of the program without express written consent from Windstream.

• Follow HackerOne's disclosure guidelines.

Program Rules

• Please provide detailed reports with reproducible steps. If the report is not detailed enough to reproduce the issue, the issue may not be marked as triaged.

• Submit one vulnerability per report, unless you need to chain vulnerabilities to provide impact.

• When duplicates occur, we only triage the first report that was received (provided that it can be fully reproduced).

• Multiple vulnerabilities caused by one underlying issue will be treated as one valid report.

• Social engineering (e.g. phishing, vishing, smishing) is prohibited.

Out of scope vulnerabilities

When reporting vulnerabilities, please consider (1) attack scenario / exploitability, and (2) security impact of the bug. The following issues are considered out of scope:

• Clickjacking on pages with no sensitive actions

• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) on unauthenticated forms or forms with no sensitive actions

• Attacks requiring MITM or physical access to a user's device.

• Previously known vulnerable libraries without a working Proof of Concept.

• Comma Separated Values (CSV) injection without demonstrating a vulnerability.

• Missing best practices in SSL/TLS configuration.

• Any activity that could lead to the disruption of our service (DoS).

• Content spoofing and text injection issues without showing an attack vector/without being able to modify HTML/CSS

• Rate limiting or bruteforce issues on non-authentication endpoints

• Missing best practices in Content Security Policy.

• Missing HttpOnly or Secure flags on cookies

• Missing email best practices (Invalid, incomplete or missing SPF/DKIM/DMARC records, etc.)

• Vulnerabilities only affecting users of outdated or unpatched browsers [Less than 2 stable versions behind the latest released stable version]

• Software version disclosure / Banner identification issues / Descriptive error messages or headers (e.g. stack traces, application or server errors).

• Tabnabbing by redirecting browser tabs

• Open redirect - unless an additional security impact can be demonstrated

• Issues that require unlikely user interaction

Safe Harbor

Any activities conducted in a manner consistent with this policy will be considered authorized conduct and we will not initiate legal action against you. If legal action is initiated by a third party against you in connection with activities conducted under this policy, we will take steps to make it known that your actions were conducted in compliance with this policy.
