Security

How to report vulnerabilities in OTF projects, and how we handle them.

Reporting a vulnerability

Please report vulnerabilities privately to security@opentechf.org rather than in a public issue. Include a description of the issue, the affected project and version, and steps to reproduce it if possible.

What to expect

We practise coordinated disclosure. A maintainer will acknowledge your report, investigate, and work on a fix; you are welcome to coordinate a public disclosure once a release is available.

Acknowledgement

Within 3 business days

Initial assessment

Within 1 week

Fix or mitigation

90-day coordinated disclosure window

Scope

This process covers the open source projects published under the Open Tech Foundation(opens in new tab) organization on GitHub. For anything else, reach out through the contact page.

We appreciate responsible disclosure and will credit reporters by name unless they prefer to remain anonymous.
