Security & vulnerability disclosure

We work in incident response. We expect to be held to the same standard.

Reporting a vulnerability

If you believe you've found a security issue in this site, the triage tool, or any HackFirstAid Municipal asset, please email security@hackfirstaid.com. We acknowledge reports within two business days and aim to triage within five.

Scope

  • In scope: municipal.hackfirstaid.com, the triage decision tree, downloadable resources, and our public API endpoints when published.
  • In scope (parent): the shared HackFirstAid identity provider and authentication endpoints.
  • Out of scope: third-party services we don't operate (calendar booking, email forwarding, analytics provider), denial-of-service testing, social engineering of HackFirstAid staff or customers, physical attacks.

Safe harbour

We will not pursue legal action against good-faith researchers who:

  • Make a reasonable effort to avoid privacy violations, service disruption, and data destruction;
  • Only interact with accounts they own or have explicit permission to test;
  • Give us reasonable time to investigate and resolve before public disclosure (we suggest 90 days, negotiable);
  • Do not exploit the issue beyond the minimum necessary to demonstrate it.

What we ask

  • Provide enough detail to reproduce: URL, payload, expected vs actual behaviour, browser/device.
  • If sensitive data was accessed, stop and tell us β€” don't download or share it.
  • Use coordinated disclosure. We'll credit you publicly if you'd like.
