A weekend

Security researchers often make innocent mistakes in vulnerability reporting that trigger legal consequences.

Create a checklist tool that validates disclosure timing, wording, and recipient selection before submission.

Bug bounty hunters and freelance security testers would pay to reduce legal risks.

Start with just a simple web form that checks CVE reporting basics.

Risk: May be too late-stage to prevent all disclosure mistakes.
