SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents the submission of invalid or low-quality security findings by enforcing a rigorous 7-question validation gate, ensuring only high-impact, reproducible bugs are reported.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 7-Question Gate: A systematic checklist to verify reproducibility, scope, and impact before reporting.
  • Pre-Submission Gates: A multi-stage verification process covering reality checks, deduplication, and report quality.
  • Severity Decision Guide: Standardized criteria for determining CVSS 3.1 scores and avoiding common reporting pitfalls.
  • Use Case: Use this skill before finalizing any bug bounty report to ensure your finding is not a known issue, is within scope, and has a clear, demonstrated impact.

Quick Start

Run the triage-validation skill to audit your current finding against the 7-question gate and pre-submission requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about triage-validation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate security findings and eliminate false positives before submitting a bug bounty report?

To validate security findings and eliminate false positives, run your report through a structured 7-question gate that verifies reproducibility, scope, and impact. This pre-submission process ensures only high-impact, actionable bugs are reported.

What is the best way to check if a pentest finding has a clear impact and reproducible steps?

The best way to check for clear impact and reproducible steps in a pentest finding is applying a multi-stage verification gate. This process requires demonstrated evidence and adherence to defined severity metrics before final submission.

How do I assign the correct CVSS 3.1 score to a vulnerability report?

You assign the correct CVSS 3.1 score by using a standardized severity decision guide during report triage. This helps avoid common reporting pitfalls by matching the vulnerability's demonstrated impact to defined severity metrics.

Does the triage-validation process check if a security bug is a duplicate or out of scope?

Yes, the triage-validation process explicitly checks if a security bug is a known duplicate or out of scope. It applies pre-submission gates covering reality checks and deduplication to filter out non-actionable reports.

When should I use a structured validation gate in my penetration testing workflow?

You should use a structured validation gate before finalizing any penetration testing report. It operates within bug bounty workflows to audit your finding against required evidence-based reporting standards and maintain high validity ratios.

Why are my bug bounty reports being rejected for low quality or lacking demonstrated impact?

Bug bounty reports are often rejected for low quality if they lack demonstrated impact or reproducibility. Applying a 7-question validation gate enforces evidence-based reporting standards to prevent submitting invalid findings.
