💨 Abstract

The Nivenly Foundation has launched a security fund to pay for responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities in the fediverse, an open social web including apps like Mastodon and Pixelfed. The fund aims to educate project leads on security best practices and reduce the need for servers to defederate (disconnect) due to unpatched vulnerabilities. The program is currently in a limited trial following the discovery of a vulnerability in Pixelfed.
