description: >-
  BD, which acquired CareFusion in 2015 and now ships the CareFusion product lines as BD
  Alaris and BD Pyxis, runs a published coordinated vulnerability disclosure program through
  the BD Cybersecurity Trust Center. The disclosure surface is BD-operated and explicitly
  covers the CareFusion-descended devices: BD publishes product-specific security bulletins
  and patch pages for BD Alaris and BD Pyxis, which is why this BD-domain program is recorded
  on the CareFusion record rather than treated as a different company's document.
  NOTE the absence: there is NO /.well-known/security.txt on any bd.com or carefusion.com
  host (see well-known/carefusion-well-known.yml), and no bug-bounty program on HackerOne,
  Bugcrowd or Intigriti was found — disclosure is via a web form, not a bounty platform.
