  Semrush runs a coordinated vulnerability disclosure program on HackerOne and publishes a
  named security contact on its public security page. It does not serve a
  /.well-known/security.txt on any host, so an automated scanner following RFC 9116 finds
  nothing — the program is discoverable only by reading the marketing site.

  note: >-
    RFC 9116 gap. Semrush has a real disclosure program and a real security contact but
    publishes neither at the machine-readable location, so the program cannot be discovered
    programmatically.
