The Nivenly Foundation has initiated a security fund to enhance the safety of the fediverse, comprised of decentralized social media platforms like Mastodon and Pixelfed. This fund rewards individuals for responsibly disclosing security vulnerabilities discovered in these applications, addressing safety concerns as many servers are run by individuals with limited security expertise. Payouts are tiered based on vulnerability severity scores, incentivizing careful reporting. Following a recent vulnerability discovery in Pixelfed, the foundation is looking to bolster security across the fediverse while fostering an environment of collaborative security awareness.
The Nivenly Foundation has launched a security fund to incentivize the reporting of vulnerabilities in fediverse apps, addressing the unique security challenges of decentralized platforms.
With many independent servers lacking security expertise, the new program aims to cultivate a culture of responsible vulnerability disclosure among fediverse app developers and users.
