NOTE, May 25, 2021: This repo is work-in-progress as part of the Vulnerability Disclosure Working Group. Contents in this repo are not finalized recommendations.
This repository is a set of resources and reference materials to help open source projects to coordinated vulnerability disclosure.
- Guide to coordinated vulnerability disclosure for open source projects: This contains background material on vulnerability disclosure, the steps to the CVD process, considerations for the decision points of the process, and "troubleshooting" for common scenarios.
- Templates: These will help you get started with the communication components of CVD. This includes
SECURITY.mdtemplates, embargoed notification and vulnerability disclosure. - Runbook: A step-by-step for the CVD process. For additional information on these steps, refer to the Guide.
If you are new to coordinated vulnerability disclosure, it is recommended you start with the Guide. While it is dense, you will want to be familiar with this information and the concepts presented before you need to address a vulnerability report.
If you are familiar with coordinated vulnerability disclosure, you can get a refresher by skipping to the Response Process section of the Guide, or go straight to the Runbook.
