Security

Reporting a vulnerability · in plain words · updated 2 November 2026

Found a security problem? Email security@coenttb.com. I answer within three working days and keep it private until a fix ships.

What this covers

Every app I publish, such as Birdwatch and Kees, and coenttb.com itself, including the license server at /licenses/.

How to report

Email security@coenttb.com, in English or Dutch. Include:

Please don’t put details in a public issue, and don’t test against anyone’s data but your own.

What happens next

Disclosure

Please keep the details private until a fix ships, or for 90 days after your report, whichever comes first. If a fix needs longer, I’ll tell you why and we agree on a date together.

If a vulnerability is being actively exploited, I report it to the authorities as the EU Cyber Resilience Act requires.

Good faith

If you research in good faith, stay within this page and stop as soon as you’ve shown the problem, I won’t take legal action against you. Not in scope: denial of service, spam, and social engineering.

Security fixes

Security fixes are free for at least five years after you buy an app. When I fix a security problem in a version your license covers, you get that fix, even after your license’s updates have ended.

Machine-readable

The same contact is in /.well-known/security.txt (RFC 9116).
