Description

- Who is the European Space Agency The European Space Agency (ESA) is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. - What do we do? We are dedicated to the peaceful exploration and use of space for the benefit of everyone. Established in 1975, we now have 23 Member States and for 50 years we have promoted European scientific and industrial interests in space. - Intention for this specific program? ESA recognizes that vulnerabilities may be discovered by external parties at any time. This policy aims to provide clear and accessible guidance to security researchers, encouraging them to report any findings in a responsible and good‑faith manner, and ensuring they feel supported throughout the process. Our intent is to collaborate with the security community to identify real-world vulnerabilities and continuously improve the security of our systems.

General

  • In case that a reported vulnerability was already known to the company from their own tests, it will be flagged as a duplicate
  • Theoretical security issues with no realistic exploit scenario(s) or attack surfaces, or issues that would require complex end user interactions to be exploited
  • Spam, social engineering and physical intrusion
  • DoS/DDoS attacks or brute force attacks
  • Vulnerabilities that only work on software that no longer receive security updates
  • Attacks requiring physical access to a victim's computer/device, man in the middle or compromised user accounts
  • Recently discovered zero-day vulnerabilities found in in-scope assets within 14 days after the public release of a patch or mitigation may be reported, but are usually not eligible for a bounty
  • Reports that state that software is out of date/vulnerable without a proof-of-concept
Severity assessment

This program follows Intigriti's triage standards based on the proof of concept.
