Is reporting bug in software and system illegal in Nepal?

In the burgeoning digital landscape of Nepal, software and system development plays a crucial role. However, the security of these programs hinges on the ability of ethical hackers and security researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities, commonly known as “bugs.” But here’s the rub: is reporting such bugs legal in Nepal, if we report bug can they file law suit against us?

This question remains an unanswered one, shrouded in legal ambiguity. The absence of specific regulations governing the process of disclosing software vulnerabilities creates a precarious situation for both security researchers and businesses operating in Nepal’s digital space. However, in the current legal landscape, there are prospects to explore the ethical considerations, and underscores the need for a clear framework for responsible bug reporting in Nepal.
