Security Policy

Reporting Security Vulnerabilities

We take the security of TicketWave and its ecosystem seriously. If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any TicketWave HQ property — the platform, partner dashboard, public-facing apps, or any service we operate — we appreciate your help in disclosing it to us responsibly.

This policy is published per RFC 9116 and matches the /.well-known/security.txt file served at access.ticketwavehq.com.


Where to Report

Email: security@ticketwavehq.com

  • PGP key available on request (reply to your initial email and we will share a current public key + fingerprint).
  • Please do not report security issues via GitHub Issues, public PRs, social media, or the general contact form.
  • If you do not receive an acknowledgement within 24 hours, please resend — mail delivery occasionally fails silently.

When reporting, please include:

  • A description of the issue and its potential impact.
  • Steps to reproduce, including any proof-of-concept code, screenshots, or HTTP requests/responses.
  • The affected endpoint, subdomain, or component.
  • Your name or handle (if you would like to be credited) and a contact address we can reply to.

Scope

The following properties are in scope for responsible disclosure:

  • ticketwavehq.com and all subdomains (including access.ticketwavehq.com)
  • Any production service operated by TicketWave HQ Ltd and reachable from the public internet
  • Mobile-web flows, partner dashboard, customer purchase flows, webhook handlers, Stripe Connect orchestration
  • Authentication, authorisation, and session-management surfaces across the above

The following are out of scope:

  • Social engineering of TicketWave HQ staff, partners, or customers (including phishing, vishing, smishing)
  • Physical attacks against TicketWave HQ or its suppliers
  • Denial-of-service (DoS / DDoS) testing of any kind, including volumetric, application-layer, or resource-exhaustion attacks
  • Third-party services we depend on (Stripe, Vercel, Neon, Cloudflare, Resend, etc.) — please report those directly to the relevant vendor
  • Findings derived from automated scanners with no demonstrated impact (e.g. missing headers without an exploitable consequence)
  • Reports about software versions without a working proof of concept
  • Self-XSS, clickjacking on pages with no sensitive actions, and similar low-severity issues

Response Timeline

We commit to the following timelines for in-scope reports submitted in good faith:

Stage Target
Acknowledgement of receipt Within 24 hours
Initial triage + severity assessment Within 5 working days
Fix deployed for high or critical severity issues Within 30 days
Fix deployed for medium or low severity issues Best effort, communicated in our reply
Public disclosure / credit Coordinated with the reporter after the fix is live

If we cannot meet a timeline, we will tell you why and agree a revised one with you.


Safe Harbour

We will not pursue legal action against security researchers who:

  • Make a good-faith effort to comply with this policy.
  • Report findings promptly and give us a reasonable opportunity to remediate before any public disclosure.
  • Avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, or disruption of service.
  • Only interact with accounts you own, or with the explicit permission of the account holder.

We do not authorise:

  • Testing that disrupts, degrades, or interrupts service for our partners or customers.
  • Accessing, exfiltrating, modifying, or destroying data that is not yours.
  • Any activity that violates UK law, including the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
  • Using findings for extortion, demanding payment under threat of disclosure, or any other coercive use.

If you are unsure whether a particular test is in scope, email us before you run it.


Bug Bounty

We do not currently operate a paid bug bounty programme.

We do credit reporters who follow this policy at ticketwavehq.com/trust/security-acknowledgments, unless you ask us to keep your report anonymous. A short hall-of-fame entry includes your name or handle, the date of disclosure, and (optionally) a one-line description of the class of issue.
