This is a program that I've been championing within @nivenly@hachyderm.io over the past year, after we noticed that security vulnerabilities weren't being disclosed responsibly, and not enough research was going into the security of Fediverse software.
You might remember my Pixelfed vulnerability from last year, where OAuth scopes weren't checked allowing for privilege escalation via the API (CVE-2024-25108), that was our very first test-case of this program.
I'm incredibly proud to be involved in launching the Fediverse Security Fund from Nivenly Foundation (a 501(c)4 not-for-profit cooperative)

Okay, okay, at @nova@hachyderm.io's prompting, an #introduction post:
Hi ππ»
I'm Emelia, from #berlin, #germany, I'm trans, queer, and kinky.
I'm a #tech princess πΈπ»
currently working on Fediverse Trust & Safety tooling and contributing to various Fediverse projects. I'm on the infrastructure team for @hachyderm@hachyderm.io
I was tech lead at @iftas@mastodon.iftas.org (Nov 2023 β Sep 2024), I'm currently independent, funded by you and grants.
In 2020, I became the #founder of Unobvious Technology, aiming to improve the safety, #security and profitability of #sexworkers and advance the #adultindustry
p.s., the tech princess thing is a joke because I think it's fun to wear ballgowns to tech conferences.
