Nitro Security Vulnerability Policy & Process

Nitro’s commitment to the security of its products and services is a core value. Through proactive security design and testing, Nitro is proud to have required few historical security updates. Central to this philosophy is how Nitro manages security vulnerabilities, including those reported to Nitro by third parties.

Reporting a Vulerability

All Nitro security vulnerabilities should be reported via email to the Nitro Security Team at security@gonitro.com. Please provide the version/build affected, concise steps to reproduce the vulnerability that are easily understood, and include a proof-of-concept file. While Nitro appreciates reported bugs and vulnerabilities, Nitro does not provide rewards or acknowledgements for bug or security vulnerability submissions.

Nitro Security Vulnerability Process:

(1) Nitro will acknowledge and assess any vulnerability reported according to the instructions above, typically within 7 days.

(2) When a vulnerability is confirmed, Nitro will conduct risk analysis using the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS v3) and determine the most appropriate response for Nitro customers.

• Critical security updates: Issues within the software that, if not addressed, pose a high risk and probability of unauthorized access, alteration or destruction of information on a user's computer or connected computers. Nitro will resolve critical security updates by providing a critical update to the current and previous released software version, or a major upgrade to the current and/or previous release.

• Non-critical Security updates: Issues within the software that, if not addressed, pose a low to moderate risk and probability of unauthorized access, alteration or destruction of information on a user's computer or connected computers. Nitro will resolve non-critical security updates by providing a minor update or major upgrade to the current release.

(3) Nitro will design, implement & test any security updates, and make them available to customers on supported software versions; typically within 90 days.

(4) Nitro will publicly disclose all critical security vulnerabilities, affected versions, and relevant details of any updated releases that address the issues, on this Security Updates page.
