Security Policy

سياسة الأمن

Effective 2026-04-22

Scope

This policy covers fencing.om and every API and subdomain operated by the Oman Fencing Committee. Reports against clubs, athletes or third-party services hosted elsewhere are out of scope, please raise those with the affected operator first.

How to report

Email [email protected] with a short description, proof of concept (curl, screenshots, or a short video) and the earliest time we may publish an acknowledgement. We aim to reply within 48 hours. Machine-readable pointer: /.well-known/security.txt (RFC 9116).

Examples of issues we want to hear about

Remote code execution, command injection, server-side request forgery (SSRF), authentication bypass or privilege escalation, missing authorisation on board or admin endpoints, insecure direct object references, stored or reflected XSS that survives our sanitisation, sensitive data exposure in logs or cache headers, and cryptographic weaknesses in sessions or OTP delivery.

Out of scope

Denial-of-service floods, social-engineering attempts against volunteers, physical attacks, cookie flags that do not alter the security posture (e.g. missing Secure on a public asset), SPF/DMARC gaps on non-mail subdomains, missing headers on immutable static assets, and output from automated scanners without a working proof of concept.

Safe harbour

If you act in good faith, avoid data destruction, avoid degrading service for others, and stop testing as soon as you confirm the issue, we will not pursue legal action or law-enforcement referral. Touch only your own test data, never live athlete or medical records.

Acknowledgments

We publish a short thank-you to researchers who report a real issue and accept disclosure coordination. If you would rather stay anonymous, let us know in your first email. We do not currently run a paid bounty programme, but for high-impact findings we send an OFC branded gift as a token of thanks.
