What It Does

This dork finds vulnerability disclosure pages, security contact forms, and responsible disclosure portals across organizations. The phrase "submit vulnerability report" appears on dedicated security pages where companies invite researchers to report findings. Results include corporate security pages, vulnerability disclosure policies (VDPs), and bug bounty intake forms from organizations of all sizes.

Common Use Cases

  • Responsible Disclosure Portal Discovery: Find organizations that have formal vulnerability disclosure programs, making it easier to report security issues you've discovered through authorized research with clear legal protections.
  • Security Program Maturity Assessment: Evaluate which organizations in a specific industry have vulnerability reporting mechanisms in place, useful for competitive analysis or assessing vendor security posture during procurement.
  • Bug Bounty Scope Expansion: Discover companies with vulnerability reporting pages that may not be listed on major bounty platforms like HackerOne or Bugcrowd, revealing direct-submission opportunities with potentially less competition.

How to Use Safely

  1. Search Google for "submit vulnerability report" to find organizations with public-facing vulnerability disclosure pages and security contact forms.
  2. Refine results by adding industry or domain filters (e.g., site:.gov, site:.edu, or specific company names) to target sectors relevant to your research focus.
  3. Review each organization's disclosure policy to understand their expectations: safe harbor provisions, scope limitations, response timelines, and whether they offer monetary rewards.
  4. Use the identified submission channels to responsibly report any vulnerabilities you discover, following the organization's stated guidelines for format, encryption (PGP), and communication preferences.
