TechSmith's Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

Vulnerability Disclosure Philosophy

TechSmith believes effective disclosure of security vulnerabilities requires mutual trust, respect, transparency and common good between TechSmith and Security Researchers. Together, our vigilant expertise promotes the continued security and privacy of TechSmith customers, products, and services.

When you find a vulnerability:

  1. Please write a thorough report with step by step instructions to reproduce the vulnerability.
  2. Avoid disclosing the vulnerability publicly or to any third-parties until the issue is resolved.
  3. Make a good-faith effort to avoid violating the privacy of TechSmith customer data. Test with your own accounts where possible.'
  4. Never destroy or otherwise tamper with TechSmith customer data that does not belong to you.
  5. Clean up after testing. If your vulnerability involves leaving malicious entries or files on a TechSmith property, please delete or hide them once they're no longer needed for demonstrating the vulnerability.

What we'll do:

  1. Review your report as soon as we can.
  2. If we're unable to reproduce the issue, we'll reach out for further clarification on the vulnerability.
