summary: >-
  Quaise Energy serves an RFC 9116 security.txt at the canonical well-known path, but the file is an
  UNEDITED TEMPLATE and the disclosure program it describes does not exist. The required Contact field
  is the literal placeholder "user@example.com", and all three optional URLs it advertises return 404.
  There is no reachable way to report a vulnerability through this channel.

fields:
  contact:
  - value: user@example.com
    valid: false
    note: >-
      RFC 9116 requires Contact. This is the unedited placeholder shipped by the generator (the site
      runs Craft CMS/SEOmatic), not a real reporting address. A researcher following it reaches nobody.
  expiration:
    value: '2026-08-26T04:02:08-07:00'
    valid: false
    note: >-
      The Expires timestamp is same-day as the probe, indicating the value is generated dynamically on
      each request rather than maintained. RFC 9116 says an expired file must not be trusted.

remediation: >-
  Replace the placeholder Contact with a monitored security address (or a report form URL), and either
  publish the advertised /security-policy, /pgp-key.txt and /hall-of-fame pages or remove those lines.
  A security.txt pointing at three 404s and user@example.com is worse than none — it advertises a
  reporting channel that silently drops reports.
note: >-
  No `Security` pointer is emitted in apis.yml for this artifact. The security_disclosure check asserts
  the provider operates a disclosure channel; this one is served but non-functional, so claiming it
  would be a false credit.
