  • Vulnerability Resolution: Timeline will depend on severity and complexity

Severity Classification

We classify vulnerabilities according to the following criteria:

Severity Description
Critical Immediate threat to core services; potential for significant data breach
High Significant vulnerability with potential for limited data exposure
Medium Vulnerability with moderate impact requiring user interaction
Low Minor issues with minimal security impact

Scope

We consider the following issues to be within the scope of our security policy:

  • Remote code execution
  • SQL injection
  • Server-side request forgery (SSRF)

  • Issues requiring physical access to a user's device
  • Issues in third-party applications that use Sim-Fluence but are not under our control
  • Descriptive error messages
  • Missing HTTP security headers that don't lead to vulnerabilities
  • Brute force attacks without evidence of implementation flaws
  • Vulnerabilities in outdated or unsupported browsers or platforms

Safe Harbor

We support responsible disclosure and will not take legal action against security researchers who:

  • Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, data destruction, or service interruption
  • Do not exploit vulnerabilities beyond what is necessary to confirm the issue
  • Report vulnerabilities directly to us and allow a reasonable time for remediation
  • Do not access, modify, or exfiltrate data beyond what is necessary to demonstrate the vulnerability
  • Do not conduct denial of service testing or other testing that impairs access to or damages a system or data

Recognition

We believe in acknowledging the valuable contributions of security researchers. With your permission, we will recognize your efforts in our security acknowledgments after the vulnerability has been resolved.
