+ This document explains the Go Security team's process for handling issues + reported and what to expect in return. +
+ ++ All security bugs in the Go distribution should be reported by email to + security@golang.org. This mail is + delivered to the Go Security team. +
+ ++ To ensure your report is not marked as spam, + please include the word "vulnerability" anywhere in your + email. Please use a descriptive subject line for your report email. +
-Please report to us any issues you find. -This document explains how to do that and what to expect in return. + Your email will be acknowledged within 7 days, and you'll be kept up to date + with the progress until resolution. Your issue will be fixed or made public + within 90 days. If you have not received a reply to your email within 7 days, + please follow up with the Go security team directly at + security@golang.org.
+-All security bugs in the Go distribution should be reported by email to -security@golang.org. -This mail is delivered to a small security team. -Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you'll receive a more -detailed response to your email within 72 hours indicating the next steps in -handling your report. + Depending on the nature of your issue, it will be categorized by the Go + security team as an issue in the PUBLIC, PRIVATE, or URGENT track. All + security issues will be issued CVE numbers.
++ Issues in the PUBLIC track affect niche configurations, have very limited + impact, or are already widely known. +
+ ++ PUBLIC track issues are fixed in public, and get backported + to the next scheduled + minor releases + (which occur ~monthly). The release announcement includes details of these + issues, but there is no pre-announcement. +
+ +Examples of past PUBLIC issues include:
+-To ensure your report is not marked as spam, please include the word "vulnerability" -anywhere in your email. Please use a descriptive subject line for your report email. + Issues in the PRIVATE track are violations of committed security properties.
-After the initial reply to your report, the security team will endeavor to keep -you informed of the progress being made towards a fix and full announcement. -These updates will be sent at least every five days. -In reality, this is more likely to be every 24-48 hours. + PRIVATE track issues are + fixed in the next scheduled + minor releases + , + and are kept private until then.
-If you have not received a reply to your email within 48 hours or you have not -heard from the security team for the past five days please contact the Go -security team directly: + Three to seven days before the release, a pre-announcement is sent to + golang-announce, announcing the presence of a security fix in the upcoming + releases, and whether the issue affects the standard library, the toolchain, + or both (but not disclosing any more details).
+Some examples of past PRIVATE issues include:
-Please note that golang-dev is a public discussion forum. -When escalating on this list, please do not disclose the details of the issue. -Simply state that you're trying to reach a member of the security team. + URGENT track issues are a threat to the Go ecosystem’s integrity, or are being + actively exploited in the wild leading to severe damage. There are no recent + examples, but they would include remote code execution in net/http, or + practical key recovery in crypto/tls.
-+ URGENT track issues are fixed in private, and + trigger an immediate dedicated security release, possibly + with no pre-announcement. +
+ +-If you believe that an existing issue -is security-related, we ask that you send an email to -security@golang.org. -The email should include the issue ID and a short description of why it should -be handled according to this security policy. + If you believe that an existing issue + is security-related, we ask that you send an email to + security@golang.org. The email should + include the issue ID and a short description of why it should be handled + according to this security policy.
-The Go project uses the following disclosure process:
-This process can take some time, especially when coordination is required with -maintainers of other projects. Every effort will be made to handle the bug in -as timely a manner as possible, however it's important that we follow the -process described above to ensure that disclosures are handled consistently. -
- --For security issues that include the assignment of a CVE-ID, -the issue is listed publicly under the -"Golang" product on the CVEDetails website -as well as the -National Vulnerability Disclosure site. -
- -
-The best way to receive security announcements is to subscribe to the
-golang-announce
-mailing list. Any messages pertaining to a security issue will be prefixed
-with [security].
-
-If you have any suggestions to improve this policy, please send an email to -golang-dev@golang.org for discussion. -
- --We accept PGP-encrypted email, but the majority of the security team -are not regular PGP users so it's somewhat inconvenient. Please only -use PGP for critical security reports. -
