Disclosure Policy

Responsible Disclosure Policy
Yale believes that the disclosure of vulnerabilities is essential to improving the quality of our products and services. Yale values the insights of the security research community and welcomes disclosure and collaboration.

Through our responsible disclosure process Yale will work with security researchers and other vulnerability investigators to make our products and services more secure by providing a mechanism to privately report vulnerabilities with legitimacy and integrity. Responsible disclosure ensures that security infrastructure is tested and proven reliable. This process allows us to work collaboratively with the researchers to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities quickly in an ever-changing security environment.

The following is Yale responsible disclosure policy:

  • Yale will disclose known vulnerabilities and their fixes to its customers in a manner that protects the end-users of our products. Disclosures made by Yale will include credit to the person who first identified the vulnerability, unless they request otherwise.
  • Yale is open to communication and working with security researchers who come to Yale with a shared interest to improve security and coordinate the distribution of information, including both the vulnerability and the solution that addresses it.
  • Yale does not have a bounty program nor a monetary award for the researcher, however Yale will provide credit and publicly acknowledge in a written advisory, the work of a security researcher who privately brings the company valid information about a vulnerability and then works with Yale to coordinate the public announcement after a fix or patch has been developed and tested.
  • Security researchers are allowed to post a link to the Yale advisory on their own websites as recognition for helping minimize risks and helping end-users protect themselves. We ask the security researcher community to work with Yale to coordinate the public disclosure of a vulnerability. Prematurely revealing a vulnerability publicly without first notifying Yale could hurt end-users, exposing sensitive information and putting people and organisations in danger of malicious attacks.

 

We ask the security researcher community to work with Yale to coordinate the public disclosure of a vulnerability. Prematurely revealing a vulnerability publicly without first notifying Yale could hurt end-users, exposing sensitive information and putting people and organizations in danger of malicious attacks.

To that end, ASSA ABLOY strongly advocates a two-step process: first, private disclosure of a potential vulnerability to ASSA ABLOY. Once the vulnerability is validated and resolved, Yale coordinates the public disclosure, which includes the recognition of the security researcher’s discovery, confirming that credit is given to the right person(s).

We ask that researchers recognise that our actions to investigate, validate and remediate reported vulnerabilities vary based on complexity and severity. We will acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 5 business days. Our security team will assess the reported vulnerability and determine its impact. We aim to provide an initial response within 20 business days, including an assessment of the vulnerability, provide an expected timeline for resolution, if possible, and collaborate with the reporter if necessary. Additionally, we request that researchers not utilize Denial of Service tools or compromise Yale user infrastructure or personal information while performing testing or evaluation. If this kind of testing is necessary, we request they contact us, so that we may provide testable products in a non-production environment for such purposes where reasonably possible.

Like other leading companies, Yale applies industry best practices for coordinated disclosure of vulnerabilities to protect the security ecosystem, ensuring that customers get the highest quality information, and drive public discourse about ways to improve products, protocols, methodologies, standards and solutions.

As part of its responsible disclosure program, Yale is seeking relationships with security researchers who adhere to a coordinated, shared responsibility approach to publicly disclosing a vulnerability. Yale invites security researchers and other vulnerability investigators to join us in this effort.
