Recognizing Security Vulnerabilities
A security vulnerability is any flaw, weakness, or misconfiguration within a system that could be exploited by malicious actors to compromise its integrity, confidentiality, or availability.
At Five Owls Publishing, we take cybersecurity seriously and recognize the valuable role that security researchers and ethical hackers play in strengthening our defenses. We are committed to maintaining a secure environment for our users, partners, and stakeholders, and we encourage responsible disclosure of any security vulnerabilities identified within our systems.
Reporting a Security Vulnerability
If you believe you have discovered a security vulnerability in any of Five Owls Publishing’s digital assets, we encourage you to report it to us promptly. Please send an email to VDP@fiveowlspublishing.com with a detailed description of the issue, including:
A clear summary of the vulnerability
Steps to reproduce the issue
Any supporting evidence, such as screenshots or proof-of-concept code
Your contact information for follow-up communication
To facilitate structured reporting, we follow industry-standard best practices and may partner with a third-party security platform for vulnerability assessments. Reports should align with responsible disclosure guidelines.
Commitment to Investigation and Resolution
We appreciate the effort involved in identifying and reporting security issues, and we are committed to:
Acknowledging receipt of reports in a timely manner
Conducting a thorough assessment of the reported issue
Addressing verified vulnerabilities as appropriate
Keeping reporters informed of progress and resolution timelines, where possible
Responsible Disclosure Guidelines
To protect the integrity of our systems and users, we request that security researchers:
Refrain from publicly disclosing any vulnerabilities until we have had sufficient time to investigate and apply necessary fixes
Avoid actions that could disrupt services, compromise user data, or violate legal and ethical standards
Adhere to all applicable laws and regulations when conducting security research
By working together, we can enhance security and ensure a safer digital environment for everyone. Thank you for helping us protect Five Owls Publishing and its users.
