0 mins read At Snyk we firmly believe in keeping the open source community secure. This is why we launched our responsible vulnerability disclosure program , supporting all vulnerabilities found within managed open source packages and in languages including Javascript, Java, Python, .NET, Go, Ruby, and PHP.
Why disclose vulnerabilities with Snyk? With our vulnerability disclosure practice at Snyk, we aim to bridge the gap between re…

- _No high-fidelity IOCs in the RSS summary._ If the source publishes a technical write-up with defanged IOCs in the body, those would be picked up automatically on the next pipeline run.

### Article-specific behavioural hunt — Snyk vulnerability disclosure program: what’s going on behind the scenes?

`UC_3073_0` · phase: **exploit** · confidence: **High**

**Splunk SPL (CIM):**
```spl
