  The automated probe (0-working/probe-security-programs.py) returns no hit for
  Kudobuzz, because it requires bug-bounty / "responsible disclosure" /
  security@ keywords. Reading the Kudobuzz security policy page directly does
  find one real thing the probe misses: a named contact published specifically
  for disclosures. That is recorded below. It is a security CONTACT, not a
  vulnerability disclosure PROGRAM — there is no policy document, no scope
  statement, no safe-harbour language, no response-time commitment, no bug
  bounty and no security.txt. Do not read this artifact as Kudobuzz operating a
  VDP.

      Kudobuzz routes security disclosures to its general help address rather
      than a dedicated security@ mailbox. The address is Cloudflare
      email-obfuscated on the page and was decoded from the data-cfemail
      attribute.
