We are extremely grateful for security researchers and users that report vulnerabilities to the LitmusChaos Open Source Community. All reports are thoroughly investigated by a set of community members.

To report a litmuschaos vulnerability, either:

1. Report it on Github directly:

   Navigate to the security tab on the repository

   Click on 'Advisories'

   Click on 'Report a vulnerability'

2. Send an email to litmuschaos@gmail.com detailing the issue and steps to reproduce.

The reporter(s) can expect a response within 24 hours acknowledging the issue was received. If a response is not received within 24 hours, please reach out to any committer directly to confirm receipt of the issue.

To make a report, submit your vulnerability to all security contacts of LitmusChaos listed below. This allows triage and handling of the vulnerability with standardized response times.

• You think you discovered a potential security vulnerability in LitmusChaos
• You are unsure how a vulnerability affects LitmusChaos
• You think you discovered a vulnerability in another project that LitmusChaos depends on. For projects with their own vulnerability reporting and disclosure process, please report it directly there.

• You need help tuning LitmusChaos components for security - please discuss this is in the various LitmusChaos community channels
• You need help applying security-related updates
• Your issue is not security-related

Once a committer has confirmed the relevance of the report, a draft security advisory will be created on Github. The draft advisory will be used to discuss the issue with committers, the reporter(s), and litmuschaos's security advisors. If the reporter(s) wishes to participate in this discussion, then provide reporter Github username(s) to be invited to the discussion. If the reporter(s) does not wish to participate directly in the discussion, then the reporter(s) can request to be updated regularly via email.

If the vulnerability is accepted, a timeline for developing a patch, public disclosure, and patch release will be determined. If there is an embargo period on public disclosure before the patch release, an announcment will be sent to the security announce mailing list announcing the scope of the vulnerability, the date of availability of the patch release, and the date of public disclosure. The reporter(s) are expected to participate in the discussion of the timeline and abide by agreed upon dates for public disclosure.

Each report is acknowledged and analyzed by the security contacts within 5 working days. This will set off the Security Release Process.

Any vulnerability information shared with the LitmusChaos security contacts stays within LitmusChaos project and will not be disseminated to other projects unless it is necessary to get the issue fixed.

A public disclosure date is negotiated by the LitmusChaos Security Committee and the bug submitter. We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible once a user mitigation is available. It is reasonable to delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood, the solution is not well-tested, or for vendor coordination. The timeframe for disclosure is from immediate (especially if it is already publicly known) to a few weeks. For a vulnerability with a straightforward mitigation, we expect report date to disclosure date to be on the order of 7 days. The LitmusChaos Security Committee holds the final say when setting a disclosure date.

If you find a security-related bug in LitmusChaos, we kindly ask you for responsible disclosure and for giving us appropriate time to react, analyze, and develop a fix to mitigate the found security vulnerability. The security contact will investigate the issue within 5 working days.

The team will react promptly to fix the security issue and its workaround/fix will be published on our release notes.

See the litmuschaos release page for information on supported versions of litmuschaos. Any Extended or Active release branch may receive security updates. For any security issues discovered on older versions, non-core packages, or dependencies, please inform committers using the same security mailing list as for reporting vulnerabilities.

Any organization or individual who directly uses litmuschaos and non-core packages in production or in a security critical application is eligible to join the security announce mailing list. Indirect users who use litmuschaos through a vendor are not expected to join, but should request their vendor join. To join the mailing list, the individual or organization must be sponsored by either a litmuschaos committer or security advisor as well as have a record of properly handling non-public security information. If a sponsor cannot be found, sponsorship may be requested at litmuschaos@gmail.com. Sponsorship should not be requested via public channels since membership of the security announce list is not public.
