What Triage Validation does

Triage Validation applies a 7-question gate, 4 pre-submission gates, and a never-submit list to bug bounty findings before writing any report. Use it to filter out invalid, out-of-scope, or unproven issues and reduce N/A submissions.

Triage Validation is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Triage Validation comes from a repository tagged ai-security, bug-bounty, bugcrowd, claude-ai and claude-code.

Excerpt

TRIAGE & VALIDATION

One wrong answer = STOP. Kill it. Move on.

"N/A hurts your validity ratio. Informative is neutral. Only submit what passes all 7 questions."

THE 7-QUESTION GATE

Ask IN ORDER. One wrong answer = STOP immediately.

Q1: Can an attacker use this RIGHT NOW, step by step?

Complete this template:

1. Setup:   I need [own account / another user's ID / no account]
2. Request: [exact HTTP method, URL, headers, body — copy-paste ready]
3. Result:  I can [read / modify / delete] [exact data shown in response]
4. Impact:  The real-world consequence is [account takeover / PII read / money stolen]
5. Cost:    Time: [X minutes], Capital: [$0 / $X subscription required]

If you CANNOT write step 2 as a real HTTP request → KILL IT.
