IATA’s Responsible Disclosure Policy is not a bug bounty program and therefore does not provide any kind of rewards for vulnerabilities or bugs found by the public. If you believe you have found a vulnerability on the website, an application, or a customer’s product, please be responsible and follow the instructions according to the policy. Please read all the instructions and information in the adjacent tabs before submitting anything to IATA.

IATA expects you to follow these guidelines as a responsible disclosure security researcher:

  • You will not exploit any potential security vulnerability for any reason, including for financial or reputational gain,
  • You will not download or collect any proprietary or customer information
  • You will not degrade system security or performance
  • You will not generate fictional accounts or information and
  • You will at all times keep security vulnerability information that you may discover confidential and private, revealing it only to IATA following IATA’s specified submission process.

The following points are considered out-of-scope activities and should be avoided by security researchers to prevent any legal action:

  • Exploitation of any security vulnerability that you identify
  • Engaging in social engineering or phishing of IATA employees, customers or business         partners, including sending fake emails or using fake login pages for the purpose of collecting login credentials
  • Misappropriation of login credentials
