Report security bugs by emailing the lead maintainer at security@volentix.io
The lead maintainer will acknowledge your email within 48 hours, and will send a more detailed response within 48 hours indicating the next steps in handling your report. After the initial reply to your report, the security team will endeavor to keep you informed of the progress towards a fix and full announcement, and may ask for additional information or guidance.
Report security bugs in third-party modules to the person or team maintaining the module. Additionally, please notify our team as well so we can assess the impact it has on any of our projects.
When the security team receives a security bug report, they will assign it to a primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process, involving the following steps:
- Manage the relationship with the initial submitter
- Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions.
- Audit code to find any potential similar problems.
- Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance.
- Prepare statement to the community
- Confirmation back to the Foundation
Throughout the process, the Foundation team will be responsible for:
- Monitoring the process
- Renumerating the individual(s) who reported the bug
- Preparing announcements
If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved please submit a pull request.
