Comcast Security: Responsible Disclosure Policy
Comcast Security: Responsible Disclosure Policy
Responsible Disclosure Philosophy
Comcast believes effective responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities requires mutual trust, respect, transparency and common good between Comcast and Security Researchers. Together, our vigilant expertise promotes the continued security and privacy of Comcast customers, products, and services.
Security Researchers
Comcast accepts vulnerability reports from all sources such as independent security researchers, industry partners, vendors, customers and consultants. Comcast defines a security vulnerability as an unintended weakness or exposure that could be used to compromise the integrity, availability or confidentiality of our products and services.
Our Commitment to Researchers
- Trust. We maintain trust and confidentiality in our professional exchanges with security researchers.
- Respect. We treat all researchers with respect and recognize your contribution for keeping our customers safe and secure.
- Transparency. We will work with you to validate and remediate reported vulnerabilities in accordance with our commitment to security and privacy.
- Common Good. We investigate and remediate issues in a manner consistent with protecting the safety and security of those potentially affected by a reported vulnerability.
What We Ask of Researchers
- Trust. We request that you communicate about potential vulnerabilities in a responsible manner, providing sufficient time and information for our team to validate and address potential issues.
- Respect. We request that researchers make every effort to avoid privacy violations, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction of data during security testing.
- Transparency. We request that researchers provide the technical details and background necessary for our team to identify and validate reported issues, using the form below.
- Common Good. We request that researchers act for the common good, protecting user privacy and security by refraining from publicly disclosing unverified vulnerabilities until our team has had time to validate and address reported issues.
