  type: security.txt-contact-only
  detail: >-
    The AER publishes an RFC 9116 security.txt at the canonical location on its
    website host, carrying Contact, Expires (2099-11-01), Preferred-Languages (en) and
    a self-referencing Canonical. It carries no Policy, Encryption, Acknowledgments or
    Hiring field, so there is a published reporting channel but no published
    disclosure policy, no safe-harbour statement and no bounty. There is no
    HackerOne, Bugcrowd or Intigriti program. The contact is the AER web team mailbox
    rather than a dedicated security address.
  no_policy_url: true
scope_note: >-
  The security.txt lives on www.aer.gov.au. No security.txt is served on the API host
  cdr.energymadeeasy.gov.au or on www.energymadeeasy.gov.au (both 404), so a reporter
  who finds an issue in the product-data API has to work back to the corporate site to
  find a contact.
