This document describes how we handle the discovery of a 0-day vulnerability. It is a rule and reference for such a security incident. This standard provides binding information on proper and safe processing by ProSec GmbH
The following information must be included in the disclosure:
| WORD | EXPLAIN |
|---|---|
| Vulnerability type | specifies which vulnerability type affects the finding. |
| Vulnerable version | describes the version associated with the vulnerability. |
| Vulnerable component | names the susceptible devices of the vulnerability. |
| Report confidence | here you can find the detailed report of the vulnerability. |
| Fixed version | names the repository version. |
| Vendor notification | explains what the vendor responds about this vulnerability. |
| Solution date | specifies the resolution date of the vulnerability. |
| CVE reference | is an industry standard which aims to introduce a unified naming convention for vulnerabilities. |
| C.W.E. | is a category system for software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. |
| CVSSv3 Calculator | shows the components of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. |
| Researcher credits | names the researcher who found the vulnerability |
| Vulnerability details | describes the exact details of the vulnerabilities and which devices are affected. |
| Risk | describes the effects the vulnerability might have. |
| Steps to reproduce | explains the way to reconstruct the vulnerability. |
| Solution | shows a possible solution to fix the vulnerability |
| History | describes the history of the vulnerability, when it was identified and how it progressed further. |
The company affected by the vulnerability must officially in
the “Advisory”. In addition, ProSec GmbH may name the company as a reference.
If there is a bug bounty program, ProSec GmbH is entitled to claim the proceeds.
If the company concerned does not respond to the announcement of the security within 14 days
gap, the disclosure including the PoC codes will be published.
If the company concerned responds to the disclosure within 14 days, a coordinated disclosure will be made
carried out; if the manufacturer is affected, a joint solution to the problem is found.
After the vulnerability has been fixed, we wait 14 days for publication (the PoC codes are excluded from disclosure). The release gives customers the opportunity to fix the vulnerabilities through updates from the manufacturer. Our goal with this strategy is not to create copycats. To illustrate our process, below are two timelines:
The company affected by the vulnerability must submit a statement to security@prosec-networks.com within 14 days of notification by ProSec GmbH. If no information is provided, ProSec GmbH is entitled to publish the disclosure. If the company or the manufacturer needs more time to fix the security gap, a joint deadline will be agreed with ProSec GmbH.
All parties involved must be aware of the deadlines and consequences of this disclosure.
