Paymatrix takes the security of our systems and its data very seriously. We are continuously striving to maintain and ensure that our environment is safe and secure for everyone to use. If you’ve discovered any security vulnerabilities associated with any of our Paymatrix services, we do appreciate your help in disclosing it to us in a responsible manner.
Paymatrix will engage with you as external security researchers (the Researcher) when vulnerabilities are reported to us in accordance with this Responsible Disclosure Policy.
If a Researcher follows the rules set out in this Responsible Disclosure Policy when reporting a security vulnerability to us, unless prescribed otherwise by law or the payment scheme rules, we commit to:
Any of the Paymatrix services iOS, Android or Web apps, which process, store, transfer or use in one way or personal or sensitive personal information, such as card data and authentication data.
Automated tools or scripts ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED, and any POC submitted to us should have a proper step-by-step guide to reproduce the issue. Abuse of any vulnerability found shall be liable for legal penalties
A Researcher can test only against a merchant account if they are an account owner or an agent authorized by the account owner to conduct such testing. As a Researcher, in no event are you permitted to access, download or modify data residing in any other account or that does not belong to you or attempt to do any such activities. In the interest of the safety of our merchants, users, employees, the Internet at large and you as a Researcher, the following test types are expressly excluded from scope and testing: any findings from physical testing (office access, tailgating, open doors) or DOS or DDOS vulnerabilities. A responsible disclosure also does not include identifying any spelling mistakes, or any UI and UX bugs.
