  rfc9116_conformant: false
  rfc9116_note: >-
    Expires is a MUST in RFC 9116 and is absent, so the document is served but not conformant.
    The file is two useful lines - a comment and a Contact - and nothing more.
  also_served_on:
  - https://reach.wellfound.com/.well-known/security.txt
  - https://cloud.wellfound.com/.well-known/security.txt
  note: the same 62-byte document is served on three Wellfound hosts, which is consistent
    first-party publication rather than a one-off.

summary: >-
  Wellfound publishes a reachable security contact and nothing else. There is no disclosure
  policy, no safe-harbour statement, no bounty program on either major platform, and no
  Expires field, so a researcher has an address but no published terms.
