Which vulnerabilities can you report?

Qualifying vulnerabilities

  • Authentication flaws
  • Circumvention of our platform/privacy permission models
  • Elevation of privileges
  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF/XSRF)
  • Remote code execution
  • SQL Injection

Out-of-scope vulnerabilities

  • Denial of Service Attacks (DOS)
  • Physical attempts against Genetec property or data centers
  • Attack that assumes admin control of a service machine
  • Missing best practices with no demonstrable security impact (i.e. missing HTTP headers, SSL/TLS configuration, etc.)
  • Insecure cookies for non-sensitive cookies or 3rd party cookies
  • Sending blind XSS by email or spamming Genetec employees
  • Vulnerable third party packages without proof of concept (ex. jQuery) 
  • Missing DNS CAA record

Disclosing your vulnerability

Once we receive your vulnerability submission, the Genetec Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) will analyze and triage the submission. You should receive an email acknowledging your reported issue within two business days. Our team might reach out to you during the remediation process to establish the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score and confirm that the solution has been successfully applied.

If applicable, a common vulnerabilities and exposures identity (CVE ID) will be issued. The public disclosure of the vulnerability will be done via release note and/or security advisory for the affected products.

Please refrain from publicly disclosing any information before a coordinated disclosure.

Rewards

Each vulnerability that gets reported is evaluated to determine its reward level. The following bounty payout ranges list the maximum pay for these categories of issues. This is meant to serve as a guide describing how reported issues are rewarded based on their impact. 
All figures are in Canadian dollars (CAD).

Critical

The following vulnerabilities are considered critical issues and can provide a reward up to $5000 CAD.

  • Remote code execution on a server
  • Full account takeover without interaction
  • Getting read or write access to private source code
  • Server-side request forgery (SSRF) exploitation leading to critical impact
