Responsible Disclosure & Bug Bounty

Last updated: 5 June 2026

We welcome reports from security researchers. If you believe you have found a vulnerability in NEXGUARD products, please tell us before public disclosure.

How to report

  1. Email security@nexguard.live with subject line "Security Report — [short title]".
  2. Include steps to reproduce, impact assessment, and proof-of-concept if available.
  3. Allow up to 90 days for remediation before public disclosure (coordinated disclosure preferred).

Bug bounty program

NEXGUARD operates a good-faith recognition program for valid reports. Monetary rewards depend on severity, exploitability, and program budget at the time of report. We will confirm eligibility when we acknowledge your submission.

  • Critical — authentication bypass, RCE in extension/browser, mass user data exfiltration
  • High — stored XSS on nexguard.live, API auth flaws, extension permission abuse
  • Medium — CSRF on sensitive actions, information disclosure, scan bypass enabling widespread harm
  • Low — minor issues with limited impact

Ineligible findings

  • Missing security headers without demonstrated exploit
  • Self-XSS, clickjacking on non-sensitive pages, rate limits without bypass
  • Reports from automated scanners without verified impact
  • Social engineering of NEXGUARD staff or users

Recognition

With your permission, we may list your name or handle on a security acknowledgments page after the issue is fixed. Commercial bug bounty platforms may be added later — official channel remains security@nexguard.live.
