Vulnerability Disclosure Policy
Our commitment to security and responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities
1. Introduction
At Koluvu, the trust and security of our users, partners, and stakeholders are of utmost importance. We recognize that the global security research community plays a critical role in identifying vulnerabilities that could pose a threat to our systems and services. This Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP) outlines how you can report potential vulnerabilities to us, our commitment to addressing them, and our promise to handle reports responsibly and professionally.
2. Our Commitment
If you identify a vulnerability in any of our systems, we commit to:
- Acknowledging your report within 5 business days
- Working with you to validate and resolve the issue quickly
- Maintaining open communication throughout the remediation process
- Crediting you publicly (with your permission) for responsible disclosures
- Providing Safe Harbor for your responsible testing and reporting activities
3. Reporting a Vulnerability
To report a potential security vulnerability, please contact us at:
📧 bhuvihhr@outlook.com
📞 +91 9866875709
Please include the following information:
- Clear and concise description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce the issue
- Potential impact or risk
- Proof-of-concept (PoC) code or screenshots (if available)
- The environment tested (web, mobile, etc.)
- Your contact information (if you'd like a response or credit)
4. Scope
This policy applies to all public-facing systems and services operated by Koluvu, including but not limited to:
- www.koluvu.com
- Subdomains under koluvu.com
- Public APIs, dashboards, login pages, and user interfaces
- Backend services interfacing with job seeker and employer data
5. Out of Scope
While we appreciate all reports, the following issues are out of scope and do not qualify for acknowledgement or remediation unless they demonstrate significant real-world risk:
- Missing HTTP security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS)
- SPF, DKIM, DMARC configurations
- Clickjacking on pages without sensitive content
- Reports from automated scanning tools without proof-of-impact
- Use of known, outdated libraries without exploitation
- Social engineering, phishing, or physical attacks
- Denial of Service (DoS), spam, or brute-force attacks
6. Responsible Testing Guidelines
To protect our users, data, and systems, please follow these responsible testing principles:
- Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond what is necessary to prove the issue
- Do not access, copy, or modify data that is not your own
- Do not disrupt services, perform denial-of-service attacks, or impact system availability
- Do not engage in any activity that could affect other users
- Use only your own accounts or explicitly authorized testing environments for verification.
7. Coordinated Disclosure Process
Once a report is received:
- Acknowledgement within 5 business days
- Initial assessment and reproduction (within 10 business days)
- Classification and risk analysis
- Remediation plan and deployment
- Notification to reporter upon resolution
Let us know if you'd like to remain anonymous.
We strive to fix verified issues within 30 business days, though complex issues may require more time.
8. Recognition
We are happy to publicly acknowledge your responsible disclosure efforts on a dedicated Security Hall of Fame page, if:
- The report is valid, unique, and not previously reported
- The vulnerability is within scope
- You comply with our testing guidelines and disclosure process
Let us know if you wish to remain anonymous.
9. Legal Safe Harbor
We support good faith research and responsible disclosure. If your testing and reporting complies with this policy:
- We will not take legal action against you
- We consider your testing authorized under the Computer Misuse or related laws
- We will not request law enforcement investigations for your work under this policy
However, if your actions are deemed malicious, reckless, or harmful, this protection does not apply.
