Security is important but we do ask the following
We want to ask you to report vulnerabilities responsibly, with the following principles in mind:
- Don't try to access or manipulate other customers data; only test on your account
- Do not exfiltrate data from our infrastructure (including source code, data backups, configuration files).
- If you obtain remote access to our system, report your finding immediately. Do not attempt to pivot to other servers or elevate access.
- Please avoid techniques that might degrade the service for others (DoS, spamming, etc.)
- Please keep the vulnerabilities secret until you've notified us, and we've had adequate time to remedy the issues
Doing any of these will violate your license agreement and may violate local, state, federal, and international laws.
