Terms of Use

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using RuntimeRebel, you accept and agree to be bound by these terms of use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the site.

Use of Content

Content published on RuntimeRebel is provided for informational purposes only. Articles are AI-generated summaries written by language models from publicly available cybersecurity news sources, without human review before publication, and should not be considered authoritative security advisories. How articles are generated, the quality gates they pass, and our corrections process are documented on the editorial & AI transparency page.

Always verify critical security information with original sources (CISA, vendor advisories, NVD) before making operational decisions.

Sponsored Content

Some articles on RuntimeRebel may be sponsored or contain paid placement. Sponsored articles are clearly labelled with a "Sponsored" indicator. Sponsorship arrangements are entirely separate from our editorial process. Sponsored content does not affect our editorial standards, the accuracy of our threat intelligence reporting, or the integrity of our AI-generated analysis.

Advertising

This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Ads run by default and may be personalised based on your browsing activity, as described in our Privacy Policy. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via the "Privacy & Ad Settings" link in the footer of every page; ads will continue to appear but will no longer be tailored to you. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, personalised advertising is off until you consent through the privacy message shown on your first visit.

No Warranty

Content is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. RuntimeRebel does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information published on this site.

Security Information Disclaimer

CVE data, vulnerability summaries, CVSS scores, and threat intelligence published on this site are derived from publicly available sources and processed by AI. They are provided for general informational awareness only and do not constitute professional security advice, a formal vulnerability assessment, or a penetration testing report. Severity classifications are indicative and may differ from official vendor or NVD ratings.

Consult qualified security professionals and authoritative sources (CISA, vendor security advisories, the National Vulnerability Database) before making security decisions, applying patches, or responding to incidents.

Limitation of Liability

RuntimeRebel shall not be liable for any damages arising from the use of or inability to use the content on this site. This includes but is not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Acceptable Use

When using this site you agree not to:

• Scrape or systematically copy article content at scale for commercial redistribution or republication without permission.
• Use this site or its content to facilitate or assist in any malicious, unlawful, or harmful activity.
• Attempt to circumvent, probe, or disrupt any security controls, rate limits, or access restrictions protecting this site.
• Republish AI-generated summaries as original reporting or present them as authoritative security research without attribution.

Personal, non-commercial use — including reading, bookmarking, linking, and sharing individual articles — is welcome and encouraged.

RSS Feeds

We provide public RSS feeds for personal, non-commercial use: the main feed at /rss.xml, per-severity feeds (for example /rss/critical.xml), per-tag feeds linked from each tag archive, and a KEV changelog feed tracking new CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities entries. Integration into personal feed readers, SIEM ingest pipelines, or internal security tooling for non-commercial purposes is permitted and encouraged. Automated bulk redistribution, commercial republication, or resale of RSS content without prior written permission is prohibited.

Public API

Our threat intelligence data is available as a public JSON endpoint at /api/threat-intel.json, documented at /api-docs. Unlike article prose, this dataset is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0): you may use, share, and adapt it — including commercially — provided you attribute runtimerebel.com. The endpoint is provided on a best-effort basis with no uptime or stability guarantee, and the same "no warranty" and security disclaimers above apply to the data it serves.

Intellectual Property

The RuntimeRebel name, logo, and site design are the property of their respective owners. Article content is generated from 15 third-party RSS feeds (The Hacker News, BleepingComputer, SecurityWeek, Krebs on Security, Dark Reading, and others — the full, current list is published on our editorial page) and processed by AI language models to produce original summaries and analysis. Original source publications retain copyright over their underlying reporting. RuntimeRebel claims no ownership over source content. Each article credits the original source via a source URL where available.

Vulnerability data on the CVE tracker is derived from the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, a publicly available United States government work.

The site framework, design, and pipeline code are covered by their respective open-source licences where applicable.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia. Any disputes arising in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia.

Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
