Report a security problem

If you've found a weakness in PhpDeals or in an item sold here, please tell us privately so we can fix it before anyone misuses it.

How to report it

Use our contact form with "Security report" as the subject.

Please include:

• What you found, and where: the page address, or the item and its version
• The steps to show the problem
• What someone could do with it
• How we can reach you, if you'd like a reply

A problem in an item you bought

Report it to us as above, not only to the author. We'll pass it to the author and follow it up. If buyers are at risk, we can take the item off sale until it's fixed. Buyers then get the fixed version through their account.

While you look

• Only use your own accounts and data. Don't view, change or keep anyone else's.
• Don't slow down or disrupt the site, or send spam.
• Don't trick our team or our users.
• Give us a reasonable time to fix the problem before you tell anyone else.

What happens next

We'll confirm we received your report, look into it, and tell you what we did. We don't run a paid bug bounty.
