Vulnerability disclosure

Move from an external claim to a defensible disclosure.

Validate exploitability, challenge weak claims, prepare reviewed proof and disclosure language, share only what the recipient needs, and retain the complete coordination timeline.

A higher evidence bar than internal suspicion

A vendor, researcher, or bounty program needs a reproducible claim, clear affected scope, and a controlled communication trail. Raw model output is not enough.

01

Disclosure-quality evidence

Review source, impact, reproduction, affected versions, and PoC before sending the claim outside the workspace.

02

Adversarial review

Use a vendor-style challenge and researcher rebuttal to expose weak assumptions before the real counterparty does.

03

HackerOne eligibility context

Label findings against common core-ineligible categories without silently deleting or downgrading them.

04

Draft disclosure language

Generate a starting email or report, then review the technical claims and recipient context manually.

05

Controlled shares

Deliver selected findings through password-protected, expiring, revocable read-only links.

06

Timeline tracking

Record report, acknowledgement, fix, advisory, bounty, credit, notes, and closure events.

Validate, strengthen, prepare, coordinate

The steps between an external claim and a disclosure you can stand behind.

STEP 01

Validate scope

Confirm authorization, program rules, affected asset, and whether the issue is real in context.

STEP 02

Strengthen evidence

Reproduce safely, challenge the finding, and resolve contradictory review signals.

STEP 03

Prepare disclosure

Review PoC, impact, affected versions, mitigation, and the draft communication.

STEP 04

Coordinate

Share narrowly, track milestones, verify the fix, and close the record when appropriate.

Fewer weak reports reaching the public

A complete coordination record, and a higher evidence bar before anything is published.

Fewer weak external reports

Challenge non-exploitability, environment mismatch, scope, and evidence gaps before disclosure.

Safer coordination

Control what leaves the account and how long the recipient can access it.

A complete disclosure record

Keep technical evidence, communication milestones, remediation, retest, bounty, and credit together.

Questions about coordinating disclosure

Automated emails, platform verdicts, and whether vendors can reply inside a share.

Does ZeroQuarry send disclosure emails automatically?

It can generate draft language and send controlled share invitations, but disclosure claims and recipient details should be reviewed by a human before delivery.

Does HackerOne review decide whether we should disclose?

No. It adds context about common eligibility categories. Program rules, authorization, impact, and the evidence still determine the decision.

Can vendors respond inside a share?

Shares are read-only. Use your normal coordination channel for responses and record important milestones in the disclosure timeline.

Coordinate one disclosure end to end

Take an existing claim through validation, evidence, and a controlled share.
