Responsible Disclosure Policy
1. Introduction
Rebasoft Limited (“Rebasoft”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to maintaining the security, integrity, and availability of our systems, services, and customer data.
We recognise the value of the security research community and encourage the responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities.
This policy defines how vulnerabilities should be reported and how Rebasoft will respond.
Our approach aligns with recognised industry standards, including ISO 27001 and NIST vulnerability handling guidance.
2. Scope
This policy applies to vulnerabilities identified in:
Rebasoft public websites (e.g. www.rebasoft.net)
Customer-facing platforms and services
Public APIs and externally accessible services
Infrastructure directly controlled by Rebasoft
3. Out of Scope
The following are explicitly out of scope:
Third-party systems not controlled by Rebasoft
Social engineering, phishing, or physical attacks
Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) testing
Spam or brute-force testing
Issues requiring unrealistic or highly improbable attack scenarios
Access to customer environments without explicit authorisation
4. Reporting a Vulnerability
Vulnerabilities should be reported to:
security@rebasoft.net
Reports should include:
Clear description of the issue

5. Rebasoft Commitment
Rebasoft will:
Acknowledge receipt within 3 business days
Triage and validate promptly

6. Vulnerability Management Process
Rebasoft operates a structured lifecycle:
Submission – Report received
Triage – Initial validation
Classification – Severity assessment
Remediation – Fix development and deployment

7. Severity Classification
Rebasoft uses CVSS (or equivalent) to classify vulnerabilities:
Critical – Immediate risk requiring urgent action
High – Significant risk requiring prioritised remediation
Medium – Moderate risk requiring planned remediation
Low – Limited risk or impact
Severity determines remediation priority and response timelines.
8. Coordinated Disclosure
Rebasoft follows a coordinated disclosure model.
Researchers are requested to:

Coordinate timelines with Rebasoft
Rebasoft aims to:
Resolve issues within 90 days, where reasonably practicable
Timelines may be adjusted based on complexity and risk.

10. Responsible Testing Requirements
Researchers must:
Test only systems within scope
