triage-validation

To validate bug bounty findings before reporting, run a 7-Question Gate sequence that applies strict triage checks. One incorrect answer halts the process, ensuring only well-supported vulnerability reports proceed to submission.

Triage validation for vulnerability reports is an automated process enforcing sequential gate checks, deduplication, and evidence requirements. It ensures findings meet quality criteria and align with program policies before responsible disclosure.

To ensure enough evidence before submitting a vulnerability report, pass the finding through 4 pre-submission gates. These readiness checks verify evidence requirements are satisfied prior to drafting the final disclosure.

To classify the impact and scope of a vulnerability finding, use a Chain Table and CVSS guidance. This helps map remediation effort and impact severity to align with specific bug bounty program policies.

If a finding fails a gate check during triage validation, the sequential process stops immediately. This authoritative checklist approach prevents unsupported issues from advancing toward bug bounty report submission.
