freeCodeCamp.org's Security Policy
This document outlines our security policy for the codebases, platforms that we operate, and how to report vulnerabilities.
Reporting a Vulnerability
Note
If you think you have found a vulnerability, please report responsibly. Do not create GitHub issues for security issues. Instead follow this guide.
Guidelines
We appreciate a responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities that might impact the integrity of our platforms and users. In the interest of saving everyone time, we encourage you to report vulnerabilities with these in mind:
- Ensure that you are using the latest, stable and updated versions of the Operating System and Web Browser(s) available to you on your machine.
- We consider using tools & online utilities to report issues with SPF & DKIM configs, or SSL Server tests, etc. in the category of "beg bounties" and are unable to respond to these reports.
- While we do not offer any bounties or swags at the moment, we'll be happy to list your name in our Hall of Fame list, provided the reports are not low-effort.
Reporting
After confirming the above guidelines, please feel free to either send an email to possible-security-issue [at] freecodecamp.org. You can also send us an PGP encrypted message at flowcrypt.com/me/freecodecamp if you prefer.
Once you report a vulnerability, we will look into it and make sure that it is not a false positive. If we need to clarify any details, we will get back to you. You can submit separate reports for each issue you find. Please note that we will not be able to respond to any issues that we think are outside the guidelines.
