Security & Vulnerability Disclosure
The ZTDS AI Consortium enforces a formal Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) protocol under RFC 9116, legal safe harbor protections for ethical researchers, and institutional CVE attribution to defend the zero-trust execution perimeter.
01. Armored PGP Public Key
All vulnerability reports containing sensitive PoCs, payload traces, or memory dumps MUST be encrypted with this master key.

02. RFC 9116 Machine-Readable Policy
Standard discovery metadata hosted canonically at /.well-known/security.txt
03. Coordinated Disclosure SLA
We enforce binding response and resolution timelines to protect security researchers and guarantee immediate mitigation for downstream production enclaves.
Receipt confirmation dispatched by an on-duty security engineer. Confidentiality perimeter established and case ID assigned.
Working Group 1 (Architecture & Cryptography) reproduces exploit in isolated testbed. CVSS v3.1 rating and bounty tier determined.
Mitigation developed, regression-tested against 50,000 synthetic PII payloads, and validated across certified WASM engines.
Public disclosure coordinated with reporter. CVE published. Permanent credit inscribed in ZTDS Fellows & Researchers Hall of Fame.
04. Vulnerability Severity & Recognition Matrix
Coordinated disclosures are triaged under CVSS v3.1, assigned formal CVE advisories where applicable, and permanently credited in the ZTDS Researchers Hall of Fame.
Invariant 1 Breach: Any reproducible mechanism transmitting unmasked PII over external network sockets prior to local sanitization.
Invariant 2 Violation: Irreversible token map corruption, cross-session volatile RAM leakage of mapping tables, or secret recovery.
Local memory isolation boundary bypass within sandboxed WASM or container boundaries without external network exfiltration.
Specification syntax ambiguity, non-security edge case regressions, or automated verification CLI test discrepancy.
05. Ethical Researcher Safe Harbor
We consider security research conducted under this policy authorized under CFAA and European cybersecurity laws. The ZTDS AI Consortium will not pursue civil lawsuits or criminal complaints against researchers who:
- Engage in testing without degrading live services or accessing non-synthetic data.
- Do not modify, retain, or exfiltrate private user tokens or cryptographic tables.
- Maintain confidentiality until the coordinated public advisory date.
