Responsible disclosure policy

Version 1.2, 2023-12-16

At Thalia, we take security of our infrastructure and digital systems seriously. We develop, build and deploy all systems with security in mind. However, we can never be 100% secure and vulnerabilities will, unfortunately, present themselves. If you find a (potential) vulnerability or security issue, we would appreciate it if you inform us as soon as possible. Please note that we do not pay out money for found vulnerabilities.

How to notify us

We ask you to

  • only exploit vulnerabilities to confirm their presence.
  • give detailed reports of your findings to help us identify the underlying problem.
  • not share your report with anybody else until the problem has been fixed.
  • involve us if you want to publish your report once it has been fixed.
  • respect the privacy of our members.

We promise you to

  • take your reports seriously.
  • respond to your reports as soon as possible.
  • solve the issue as soon as possible.
  • respect your privacy and treat your reports confidentially.
  • keep you up to date and work with you to solve the underlying problem.
  • credit you in any internal and external announcements (with your permission).
  • not take any legal action if you followed the above guidelines.
