[Feature Request]: Add Security Policy #46

Closed gabibguti closed 1 year ago

gabibguti commented 1 year ago

Describe the Feature

A Security Policy should provide clear guidance on how to report potential vulnerabilities and inform the vulnerabilities disclosure window for this repo. It recommended by Github and Scorecard.

Expected Complications

No.

Will I try to implement this new feature?

Yes

Additional context

I'm Gabriela and I work on behalf of Google and the OpenSSF suggesting supply-chain security changes :)

If you agree, I can open a PR to suggest a Security Policy, and we can work together to communicate how the repo can best handle vulnerability reports.

Hi Gabriela! This seems like a great idea, thanks for the suggestion. At the moment, users are expected to report security reports to our project's email address (xz@tukaani.org). Since we moved to GitHub, it is probably less clear that is our expectation, especially for users who find the project through GitHub. So setting up a SECURITY.md file will be helpful.

You are welcome to suggest an initial version for the Security Policy through a PR. Thanks for the help!
