Found something? Tell us, safely.
Agent Etna handles agents and the code that powers them. We take that seriously, and we want anyone who finds a security issue to be able to tell us without worrying about how we'll respond. This page is what to expect when you do.
How to report
Email security@agentetna.com with:
- A clear description of the issue and its impact (what an attacker could do with it).
- Reproduction steps — the simpler, the faster we can act.
- Any logs, request/response captures, or screenshots that would help us reproduce.
- Your name (or a handle) and how you'd like to be credited if we publish a fix.
If you'd prefer encrypted reports, ask for our PGP key in the first message and we'll send it back.
What we commit to
- Acknowledgement within 72 hours of receipt (usually faster).
- Initial triage within 5 business days — a severity assessment and the next step we plan to take.
- A remediation timeline communicated once the issue is reproduced and scoped. Critical issues are fixed first.
- Status updates as we work, and a final note when the fix is shipped.
- Public credit if you want it — with your wording, on a page we maintain — once the fix is live.
Safe harbour
We will not pursue legal action against researchers who act in good faith and follow this policy. Specifically, we won't pursue a researcher who:
- Makes a sincere effort to avoid privacy violations, service disruption, and damage to data.
- Stops testing the moment a vulnerability is confirmed and reports it promptly.
- Doesn't access more data than necessary to demonstrate the issue, and deletes any incidental copies after reporting.
- Does not publicly disclose the issue until we've shipped a fix and agreed on the timing.
If you're unsure whether a research approach is OK, ask us first at the same email — we'd rather scope something safely than find out after.
In scope
- The Agent Etna application (the simulator, the landing pages, and the APIs they consume).
- The sandbox execution layer (the throwaway VMs that run a private copy of your agent).
- The secrets-manager connectors (Render, Doppler, Vault, Infisical, AWS Secrets Manager, Google Secret Manager, Azure Key Vault).
- The
.etna/footprint we commit into customer repos (anything that touches the contract, the changelog, or the way it's written). - Authentication flows (OAuth, session handling, API tokens).
- Anything in the agent-to-Etna or Etna-to-agent transport.
Out of scope
To keep our triage focused on what matters, the following are not eligible for safe-harbour treatment:
- Volumetric attacks (DoS / DDoS / rate-limit probing without a real impact demonstration).
- Social engineering of our team, vendors, customers, or contractors.
- Physical attacks on offices or hardware.
- Spam, mass-mail abuse, or testing against rate limits in production.
- Findings that depend solely on outdated browser versions or missing low-impact security headers without a demonstrated exploit.
- Issues in third-party services we depend on — please report those directly to the vendor (our subprocessors are listed publicly).
Coordinated disclosure
We default to coordinated disclosure: we ship a fix, then you and we publish together. We aim for a 90-day window for most issues, shorter for actively exploited ones, longer when a fix is genuinely complex — we'll always tell you the reasoning.
