  DICK'S Sporting Goods runs a named, first-party Vulnerability Disclosure Program on
  Bugcrowd. The program page returns HTTP 200 and identifies the company in its own
  OpenGraph metadata — og:title "DICK'S Sporting Goods | Bugcrowd", og:description
  "Learn more about DICK'S Sporting Goods's Vulnerability Disclosure engagement powered
  by Bugcrowd, the leader in crowdsourced security solutions" — and carries the company
  logo at logos.bugcrowdusercontent.com. That is a disclosure surface the company
  operates, and it is the ONLY machine-findable security-program artifact this company
  publishes: /.well-known/security.txt is not served on any host (see
  well-known/dicks-sporting-goods-well-known.yml — the storefront answers 200 with an
  Angular app shell for every path, including a control path that cannot exist).

      A HackerOne page exists at this handle and is indexed as "Dick's Sporting Goods |
      Vulnerability Disclosure Policy", but the served body is a 2.3KB JavaScript app
      shell with no company-identifying content, so it is recorded as a lead rather than
      as confirmed first-party evidence. Bugcrowd is the surface that self-identifies.

    note: >-
      Soft 404 — 2691 bytes of Angular app shell, not RFC 9116 text. The same shell is
      returned for a negative-control path, so the 200 is meaningless.
gaps:
  - >-
    No /.well-known/security.txt on any host, so the disclosure program is undiscoverable
    by the RFC 9116 mechanism a scanner or an agent would use. Bugcrowd hosts the policy;
    the company's own domain does not point at it.
  - >-
    No security contact email published on a company-controlled surface.
