Description
Hi DeSo team - I'm a security researcher and I'd like to submit a reproducible, high-severity vulnerability under your bug-bounty program
( https://github.com/deso-protocol/docs/blob/main/bug-bounty.md ). Impact: It can lead to the compromise of user accounts. Per responsible disclosure, I'm deliberately keeping all technical details out of this public issue.
Your bug-bounty policy asks researchers to "fully disclose an exploit to the DeSo developer community" by email and to include clear reproduction steps and evidence - which I have, against my own test accounts. The problem is the submission channel: the address in the policy (node.admin+security@protonmail.com) and security@bitclout.com (in the BitClout docs) both bounce with "address does not exist", GitHub Private Vulnerability Reporting isn't enabled on your repos, and a prior researcher hit the same wall (postgres-data-handler#104).
Could you please
(a) reply with a monitored security email
(b) enable Private Vulnerability Reporting (Settings → Security → "Private vulnerability reporting"), or
(c) point me to a reliable private channel? I'll then send full reproduction, PoC, impact, and remediation, and I'll honor the 60-day disclosure window in your policy.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the bug-bounty policy linked at docs/bug-bounty.md and verify whether its listed security contacts still work. Check the repository Settings → Security area for Private Vulnerability Reporting; done means the project has a monitored private channel and the policy points contributors to a reliable submission route.
