Security Response SLA

This file lives in the org-wide embeddedos-org/.github repository and is the default SECURITY.md that GitHub surfaces for every repository in the EmbeddedOS organisation that does not ship its own.

Reporting a Vulnerability

Email: security@embeddedos.org

Do NOT open public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities.

Where possible, prefer GitHub's private security advisories on the affected repo β€” that lets us coordinate the fix and credit you publicly on disclosure.

What to include

  • Affected repository, component(s), and version(s) / commit hash
  • Step-by-step reproduction instructions
  • Proof-of-concept code, network capture, or crash dump (if available)
  • Impact assessment (confidentiality / integrity / availability)
  • Whether you intend to publish; preferred coordinated-disclosure date

Supported Versions

Each product repository declares its own supported-version matrix in its own SECURITY.md. As a general default for the EmbeddedOS organisation:

Version Supported
Latest released vX.Y.Z βœ… Yes
Previous minor vX.(Y-1).Z 🟑 Best effort, security patches only
Older ❌ No

Response SLA

Phase Timeline
Acknowledge 24 hours
Triage 72 hours
Fix released 90 days

For 0-days under active exploitation, we will accelerate this timeline and may issue an emergency advisory ahead of the full fix.

Safe Harbor

We consider security research conducted in good faith to be authorised and will not pursue legal action against researchers who follow responsible disclosure practices outlined in this document.

Per-repository policies

Where a repo ships its own SECURITY.md, that file takes precedence over this default for the specific component it covers. Notable per-repo policies:

Hall of Fame

We credit researchers in the affected repository's release notes (with their permission). Reach out via the email above if you would prefer a different form of acknowledgement.
