Security Policy

We protect servers for a living, so we want to hear about weaknesses in our own systems before anyone else finds them.

Reporting a vulnerability

  1. Join our support server and open a ticket titled Security report. Do not post details in public channels.
  2. Describe the issue, the steps to reproduce it, what an attacker could do with it, and any proof of concept.
  3. Give us a reasonable time to fix it before telling anyone else. We aim for 90 days at most, and much faster for serious issues.

Scope

In scope

  • The Mark Defender bot and its slash commands and buttons.
  • This website, the dashboard and the verification page.
  • The bot's API that the dashboard talks to.
  • License, branding and blacklist logic, for example using a key you do not own or editing a server you do not manage.

Out of scope

  • Discord, Cloudflare, Vercel or our hosting provider themselves. Report those to the company that runs them.
  • Denial of service, spam, or load testing.
  • Social engineering of our staff or users.
  • Reports from automated scanners with no demonstrated impact, missing best-practice headers without an exploit, or self-XSS.
  • Attacks that need a compromised Discord account or device to begin with.

Rules for testing

  • Test only on servers you own, with accounts you own.
  • Do not access, change or delete data belonging to anyone else. If you reach someone else's data by accident, stop and tell us.
  • Do not run destructive actions against real communities to "test" anti-nuke.

What we promise

  • We confirm we received your report and keep you updated while we fix it.
  • We will not take legal action or ask Discord to act against you for research done in good faith under this policy.
  • With your permission, we credit you in our support server once the fix is live.

We do not run a paid bug bounty at this time.
