Lab Pack 8: Coordinated-Disclosure Timeline Walk (Week 8)

Walk a hypothetical coordinated-disclosure timeline against a fictional vendor. Produce the vendor-readable report draft the disclosure would actually use.


What you ship

  • A structured disclosure timeline (discovery, vendor contact, acknowledgement, patch, public release).
  • A two-to-three-page vendor-readable report draft for CVE-2025-65106 (treat the original LangChain disclosure as the fictional baseline).
  • A short README pointing the reader at the timeline and report.
  • Toolchain Diary entry for the disclosure-timeline template.

Tools you use

  • Your favourite Markdown editor.
  • The cohort disclosure-timeline template from the archive.
  • CERT/CC and MITRE CVE Program docs for reference.

Success criteria

  • The timeline names realistic windows (vendor contact within 24 to 48 hours, acknowledgement within 5 to 14 days, etc).
  • The report uses coordinated-disclosure register, not bug-bounty register.
  • The report would be acceptable to a real vendor's PSIRT inbox.

Time budget

Plan for two ninety-minute lab sessions plus two hours of independent build-out. Modules 4 and 6 commonly run over; budget one extra session for those.

Submission

Push to your student repo under adv-102/labs/lab-8/. Include source, a one-paragraph README, the output you observed, and where applicable a structured detector or trace file.
