Responsible Disclosure
We take the security of our systems seriously, and we value the work of the security community. The disclosure of security vulnerabilities to Ellucian helps us keep information secure. We want to thank those of you who have helped so far by honoring you on our Security Researcher Hall of Fame.
Guidelines
We require that all researchers:
Make every effort to avoid privacy violations, violation of licensing terms, degradation of user experience, disruption to production systems, and destruction of data during security testing
Perform research only within the scope set out below
Use the identified communication channels to report vulnerability information to us
Keep information about any vulnerabilities you’ve discovered confidential between yourself and Ellucian until we’ve had 90 days to resolve the issue
Allow an appropriate amount of time for customers to deploy updates before releasing any specific details of the issue that could harm those customers
If you follow these guidelines when reporting an issue to us, our commitment is to:
Work with you to understand and resolve the issue quickly (including an initial confirmation of your report within 72 hours of submission)
Recognize your contribution on our Security Researcher Hall of Fame, if you are the first to report the issue and we make a code or configuration change based on the issue
