Vulnerability Management Policy

Our commitment to identifying, assessing, and remediating security vulnerabilities in a timely and responsible manner.

Patching Timelines

We maintain strict timelines for remediating vulnerabilities based on their severity, as measured by CVSS scoring:

Critical

CVSS 9.0 – 10.0 — Patched Immediately / Within 24 Hours

Emergency patches are deployed as soon as a fix is available. Affected services may be taken offline if necessary to prevent exploitation.

High

CVSS 7.0 – 8.9 — Patched Within 3 Days

High-severity vulnerabilities are prioritized and remediated within 72 hours. Mitigations are applied immediately if a patch is not yet available.

Medium

CVSS 4.0 – 6.9 — Patched Within 2 Weeks

Medium-severity issues are scheduled for the next regular maintenance window, within 14 calendar days.

Low

CVSS 0.1 – 3.9 — Patched Within 3 Weeks

Low-severity vulnerabilities are addressed within 21 calendar days as part of routine maintenance.

Vulnerability Discovery

We employ multiple methods to continuously identify vulnerabilities across our platform:

  • Automated Scanning: Regular automated vulnerability scans of all production infrastructure and application code
  • Dependency Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies for known vulnerabilities using automated tools
  • Penetration Testing: Periodic penetration testing by qualified security professionals to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools may miss
  • Code Reviews: Security-focused code reviews are performed for all changes to security-sensitive components
  • Threat Intelligence: Monitoring of security advisories, CVE databases, and vendor notifications for emerging threats

Dependency Management

Third-party dependencies are a significant attack surface. We manage them rigorously:

  • All dependencies are tracked in lock files with integrity hashes to prevent supply-chain tampering
  • Automated alerts notify the engineering team when a dependency has a known vulnerability
  • Dependencies are reviewed before adoption for security posture, maintenance activity, and license compatibility
  • Unused dependencies are regularly pruned to reduce attack surface

Responsible Disclosure

We welcome and appreciate reports from security researchers and users who discover potential vulnerabilities. Our responsible disclosure process:

1

Report the Vulnerability

Send details to security@adamlegalsystems.com with a description, steps to reproduce, and any supporting evidence.

2

Acknowledgement

We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 24 hours and provide an initial assessment within 72 hours.

3

Investigation & Fix

Our security team will investigate, develop a fix, and keep you informed of progress throughout the process.

4

Disclosure

Once the vulnerability is remediated, we will coordinate public disclosure with the reporter if appropriate.

Please Do Not

  • - Access or modify other users' data during testing
  • - Perform denial-of-service testing
  • - Send unsolicited communications to users
  • - Publicly disclose the vulnerability before it has been remediated
