Reporting a potential Vulnerability.

We take the security of our project seriously, and we encourage responsible disclosure of any vulnerabilities that may be found. To facilitate this process, we have established the following vulnerability reporting process.

We appreciate your efforts to disclose your findings responsibly.

1. Reporting Channel

If you believe you have discovered a vulnerability in our project, please email us at security@btcpayserver.org. Alternatively, you may report the vulnerability to us through huntr.dev.

Please allow for up to 2 business days for an acknowledgement of receipt. If you receive no response within 2 business days, please follow up via email to ensure the original message was received.

Upon review of your report, you may be asked to provide additional information or guidance.

2. In-Scope

We welcome reports of vulnerabilities in repositories owned by the BTCPay Server GitHub Organization. This includes any issues related to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of systems or data in these systems.

3. Out of Scope
  1. Any BTCPay Server deployment that has been customized in any way. To facilitate reproducibility, please verify that the BTCPay Server instance is based on the un-altered source-code or Docker deployment.
  2. Any BTCPay Server plugin that is not authored by btcpayserver as stated by the author tag in-app.
4. Preferred Reporting Template

We encourage the use of a reporting template that includes a detailed description of the vulnerability, any evidence or proof of concept, and steps to reproduce the vulnerability.

Please find an example of an email template at the end of this document.

5. Timeline for Remediation

While we will work to remediate the reported vulnerability within 90 business days from the acknowledgment of the report, being a team of volunteers, we cannot guarantee this timeline to be accurate at all time.

We will provide regular updates to the reporter until the vulnerability is resolved.

6. Timeline to Public Disclosure

We will work with the reporter to define a suitable timeline to public disclosure once the vulnerability is remediated.

7. Reporting Template Example

Feel free to use the below template to report a vulnerability.
