Software Security Vulnerability Report Form

Report Security Vulnerabilities Responsibly with Paperform

When security researchers discover vulnerabilities in your software, you need a clear, professional channel for responsible disclosure. This Software Security Vulnerability Report Form provides a structured way to capture critical security information, classify severity levels, and maintain a secure communication channel with ethical hackers and researchers.

Built for SaaS companies, startups, and software teams, this template helps you establish a formal vulnerability disclosure program that protects both your users and the researchers who help keep your platform secure.

Streamline Your Security Response

This form captures everything your security team needs to assess and respond to vulnerability reports: detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, affected versions, severity classification using industry-standard frameworks, and secure file uploads for proof-of-concept code or screenshots. The responsible disclosure agreement ensures both parties understand expectations around confidentiality and coordinated disclosure timelines.

Purpose-Built for Security Teams

Whether you're a startup launching your first bug bounty program or an established SaaS company managing ongoing security research, Paperform gives you the flexibility to customize severity levels, add conditional fields based on vulnerability type, and integrate with your incident response tools. Connect submissions to Slack for instant alerts, push reports to your project management system, or trigger Stepper workflows to automatically route critical vulnerabilities to on-call engineers while logging lower-severity issues for your sprint backlog.

Secure, Compliant, and Professional

Paperform is SOC 2 Type II certified and provides the security foundation your vulnerability disclosure program demands. File uploads are encrypted, submissions can be logged securely, and you maintain full control over who accesses sensitive security reports through role-based permissions. Your form can live on a custom domain like security.yourcompany.com, reinforcing trust with the security research community.

This template helps you build relationships with ethical hackers, respond faster to genuine threats, and demonstrate your commitment to security best practices—all without developers needing to build custom tooling.
