| <h3>Reporting a Security Bug</h3> | |
| <p> | |
| Please report to us any issues you find. | |
| This document explains how to do that and what to expect in return. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| All security bugs in the Go distribution should be reported by email to | |
| <a href="mailto:security@golang.org">security@golang.org</a>. | |
| 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. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| 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. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| 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. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| 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: | |
| </p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Primary security coordinator: <a href="mailto:filippo@golang.org">Filippo Valsorda</a>.</li> | |
| <li>Secondary coordinator: <a href="mailto:agl@golang.org">Adam Langley</a>.</li> | |
| <li>If you receive no response, mail <a href="mailto:golang-dev@googlegroups.com">golang-dev@googlegroups.com</a> or use the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-dev">golang-dev web interface</a>.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p> | |
| 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. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>Flagging Existing Issues as Security-related</h3> | |
| <p> | |
| If you believe that an <a href="https://golang.org/issue">existing issue</a> | |
| is security-related, we ask that you send an email to | |
| <a href="mailto:security@golang.org">security@golang.org</a>. | |
| The email should include the issue ID and a short description of why it should | |
| be handled according to this security policy. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>Disclosure Process</h3> | |
| <p>The Go project uses the following disclosure process:</p> | |
| <ol> | |
| <li>Once the security report is received it is assigned a primary handler. | |
| This person coordinates the fix and release process.</li> | |
| <li>The issue is confirmed and a list of affected software is determined.</li> | |
| <li>Code is audited to find any potential similar problems.</li> | |
| <li>If it is determined, in consultation with the submitter, that a CVE-ID is | |
| required, the primary handler obtains one via email to | |
| <a href="https://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros">oss-distros</a>.</li> | |
| <li>Fixes are prepared for the two most recent major releases and the head/master | |
| revision. These fixes are not yet committed to the public repository.</li> | |
| <li>A notification is sent to the | |
| <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/golang-announce">golang-announce</a> | |
| mailing list to give users time to prepare their systems for the update.</li> | |
| <li>Three working days following this notification, the fixes are applied to | |
| the <a href="https://go.googlesource.com/go">public repository</a> and a new | |
| Go release is issued.</li> | |
| <li>On the date that the fixes are applied, announcements are sent to | |
| <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/golang-announce">golang-announce</a>, | |
| <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/golang-dev">golang-dev</a>, and | |
| <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts">golang-nuts</a>. | |
| </ol> | |
| <p> | |
| 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. | |
| </p> | |
| <p> | |
| For security issues that include the assignment of a CVE-ID, | |
| the issue is listed publicly under the | |
| <a href="https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-14185/Golang.html">"Golang" product on the CVEDetails website</a> | |
| as well as the | |
| <a href="https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search">National Vulnerability Disclosure site</a>. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>Receiving Security Updates</h3> | |
| <p> | |
| The best way to receive security announcements is to subscribe to the | |
| <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-announce">golang-announce</a> | |
| mailing list. Any messages pertaining to a security issue will be prefixed | |
| with <code>[security]</code>. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>Comments on This Policy</h3> | |
| <p> | |
| If you have any suggestions to improve this policy, please send an email to | |
| <a href="mailto:golang-dev@golang.org">golang-dev@golang.org</a> for discussion. | |
| </p> | |
| <h3>PGP Key for <a href="mailto:security@golang.org">security@golang.org</a></h3> | |
| <p> | |
| 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. | |
| </p> | |
