TAZAPAY RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE PROGRAM

Introduction

At Tazapay, we take system security very seriously and continuously work to maintain a safe and secure environment for all users. However, ensuring system security is an ongoing process, and we welcome any reports of security vulnerabilities associated with our Tazapay services.

Tazapay invites skilled security researchers to participate in our Vulnerability Disclosure Program. As external security researchers, you can engage with Tazapay by reporting any vulnerabilities to us in accordance with our Responsible Disclosure Policy. Tazapay reserves the right to validate the reports' validity based on the impact of the vulnerability.

Policy

Tazapay genuinely values the assistance of security researchers and others in the security community to help keep our systems secure. However, we insist that researchers follow the rules set out in this Responsible Disclosure Policy when reporting a security vulnerability to us.

  • Reach out to security@tazapay.com if you have found any potential vulnerabilities in our product and infrastructure that meet the criteria mentioned in the policy below.

  • Our security team will acknowledge your submission within 24 hours.

  • Tazapay will define the severity of the issue based on its impact and ease of exploitation.

  • We may take 3 to 5 days to validate the reported issue.

  • Please refrain from accessing sensitive information (by using a test account and/or system), performing actions that may negatively affect other Tazapay users (such as denial of service), or sending reports from automated tools.

  • You must not exploit a security vulnerability that you discover for any reason.

  • Perform research only within the scope set out below.

  • As a researcher, you are not permitted to access, download, or modify data residing in any other account that does not belong to you or attempt to do any such activities.

  • Keep information about any vulnerability confidential until the issue is resolved. Do not publicly disclose details of a security vulnerability that you have reported without Tazapay's permission.

  • Tazapay commits to publicly acknowledge and recognize your responsible disclosure on our Hall of Fame page.

  • Tazapay determines recognition in the Hall of Fame based on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) impact, ease of exploitation, and quality of the report. Note that extremely low-risk vulnerabilities may not qualify for the Hall of Fame at all.

  • In the event of duplicate reports, we give recognition to the first person to submit a vulnerability. (Tazapay determines duplicates and may not share details on the other reports).

Reporting Guidelines

To register yourself after identifying a vulnerability, please send an email to security@tazapay.com with the details.

After registration, please only use the registered email ID when interacting with the Tazapay security team. Do not use personal emails, social media accounts, or other private connections to contact a member of the security team regarding vulnerabilities or any program-related issues, unless instructed to do so.

In your report, please provide the following details:

  • Description and potential impact of the vulnerability;

  • A detailed description of the steps required to reproduce the vulnerability;

  • Screenshots and video POC, if available;

  • Your preferred name/handle for recognition in our Security Researcher Hall of Fame.
