Responsible Disclosure
Last updated: May 10, 2026
Our position
Dorklist is built for legitimate OSINT, bug bounty, pentesting, and security research. If you believe you found a vulnerability in Dorklist itself, we appreciate responsible, good-faith reporting.
Safe harbor expectations
We will not pursue action against good-faith researchers who follow this policy, avoid harm, and give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and remediate before public disclosure.
Rules of engagement
- Test only Dorklist-owned systems and accounts you control.
- Do not access, modify, delete, or exfiltrate other users’ data.
- Do not perform denial-of-service, spam, social engineering, or physical attacks.
- Do not attempt persistence, malware deployment, credential theft, or lateral movement.
- Stop testing and report immediately if you encounter sensitive data.
What to include in a report
- A clear summary of the issue and its potential impact.
- Exact reproduction steps, affected URL or feature, and proof-of-concept details.
- Screenshots, request/response snippets, or logs with secrets and user data redacted.
- Your preferred contact information for follow-up.
Out of scope
- Automated scanner noise without a working exploit or clear impact.
- Missing security headers with no demonstrated risk.
- Issues requiring compromised user devices, browsers, extensions, or email accounts.
- Social engineering, phishing, spam, or attacks against third-party services.
Disclosure timeline
Please allow a reasonable remediation window before public disclosure. We will make a good-faith effort to acknowledge valid reports, investigate quickly, and keep you updated when practical.
How to report
Send vulnerability reports through the contact channel listed on Dorklist or in account communications. If a dedicated security email is added later, this page will be updated with the preferred address.
