ECHOS research program details responsible vulnerability disclosure process

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Stonepath IT's ECHOS research program follows a strict disclosure policy for vulnerabilities found in third-party software, prioritizing vendor notification before public release. Findings are initially reported privately to maintainers via channels like GitHub Security Advisories or email, and also filed with MITRE for a CVE identifier. A default 90-day embargo period allows vendors time to fix issues, with extensions for active fixes and shortened periods for actively exploited vulnerabilities. Once the embargo expires, ECHOS publishes the advisory, including reproduction steps, identifiers, and a timeline to ensure adherence to their disclosure rules. AI
