summary: >-
  EXIM runs a real, managed Vulnerability Disclosure Program with published safe-harbour
  language, a defined scope, a dedicated mailbox and a Bugcrowd program page. It is not
  discoverable by machine: /.well-known/security.txt returns 404 on every exim.gov host,
  so the deterministic probe scores it as absent. This artifact was written from the
  policy page itself.

    note: >-
      A VDP, not a paid bug bounty. Federal agencies operate these under CISA BOD 20-01;
      no reward is offered or implied by the policy text.
  scope:
    in_scope:
    - Publicly available EXIM systems and services within the EXIM.gov domain
    - The registered domain name EXIM.gov
    out_of_scope:
    - Systems belonging to non-EXIM entities (report to that entity's own program)
    note: >-
      The policy states scope is subject to change and directs questions to VDP@exim.gov.
      Vendor-hosted tenants such as www.digitalarchives.exim.gov (OCLC CONTENTdm) and
      grow.exim.gov (HubSpot) sit on exim.gov names but are third-party operated — the
      "non-EXIM entities" carve-out plausibly reaches them, and the policy does not say.

    Efforts made in good faith to comply with this policy during all security research
    will be considered authorized. EXIM will work with the researcher to understand and
    quickly resolve issues and will not recommend or pursue legal action related to your
    research. Should legal action be initiated by a third party against the security
    researcher for research conducted in accordance with this policy, EXIM will reaffirm
    this authorization.
