This document outlines security procedures and general policies for the Cylc project.
The Cylc maintainers take security bugs seriously. Thank you for improving the security of Cylc. We appreciate your efforts and responsible disclosure and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.
Please report security bugs by sending an email to the lead Cylc maintainers, Hilary Oliver and Oliver Sanders. If a fix is needed, progress will be recorded on Cylc repository Issue page on GitHub, and resulting new releases will be announced on the Cylc Discourse forum.
Report security bugs in third-party modules to the person or team maintaining the module.
When the Cylc maintainers receive a security bug report, they will assign it to a primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process as follows:
- Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions.
- Audit code to find any potential similar problems.
- Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be released as fast as possible.
If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved please submit a pull request.
