  probes of Immunefi and every sandbox.game /.well-known/security.txt on 2026-08-30
summary: >-
  ABSENCE RECORD, NOT A HIT. The Sandbox does not currently serve a reachable vulnerability
  disclosure surface. It publishes no security.txt on any host, and the bug bounty program it links
  from its own official-links page - https://immunefi.com/bounty/thesandbox/ - now returns HTTP 404,
  as do both modern Immunefi URL forms for that program. NO `Security` pointer and NO
  `VulnerabilityDisclosure` pointer are emitted; there is nothing live to point at.
pointer_basis: >-
  A dead bounty link in the provider's own documentation is a finding about the provider, not a
  disclosure program. Recording it as one would be exactly the false-presence failure the
  well-known/ probe guards against.

  note: >-
    The program is real history - The Sandbox announced it on its own Medium in 2022 and Immunefi
    still surfaces the program URLs in search - but every one of the four URL forms 404s today. It is
    either retired or delisted. The consequence for a security researcher is concrete: the only
    vulnerability-reporting route The Sandbox names on its official-links page is a dead end.

  note: >-
    No trust.sandbox.game or security.sandbox.game, and no page anywhere naming an audited
    certification (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP). The nearest published assurance
    practice is the smart-contract audit policy in the contracts monorepo
    (https://github.com/thesandboxgame/sandbox-smart-contracts/blob/master/audit-best-practices.md),
    which governs on-chain code, not the platform or the API. NO `TrustCenter` and NO `Compliance`
    pointer emitted.
what_would_close_it:
- Serve an RFC 9116 /.well-known/security.txt on www.sandbox.game with a Contact and a Policy field.
- Repoint or remove the dead Immunefi link on the Official The Sandbox Links page.
