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.
