+Vulnerability Management Process
+================================
+
+#. The report will be acknowledged within three business days.
+#. The team will investigate the reported issue and will update the email
+   thread with relevant information. The team may ask for additional
+   information regarding the reported issue.
+#. If the team does not confirm the report, no further action will be
+   taken and the issue will be closed.
+#. If the report is confirmed by Ceph team members, a unique CVE identifier
+   will be assigned to the report and then shared with the reporter. The Ceph
+   security team will start working on a fix. 
+#. If a reporter has no disclosure date in mind, a Ceph security team
+   member will coordinate a release date (CRD) with the list members
+   and share the mutually agreed disclosure date with the reporter.
+#. The vulnerability disclosure / release date is set excluding Friday and
+   holiday periods.
+#. Embargoes are preferred for Critical and High impact
+   issues. Embargo should not be held for more than 90 days from the
+   date of vulnerability confirmation, except under unusual
+   circumstances. For Low and Moderate issues with limited impact and
+   an easy workaround or where an issue that is already public, a
+   standard patch release process will be followed to fix the
+   vulnerability once CVE is assigned.
+#. Fixes for issues of "Medium" and "Low" severity will be released as part of
+   the next standard release cycle. List members will receive seven days of
+   advance notice prior to the release date of these fixes. The details of the
+   CVE fix will be included in the release notes, and the release notes will be
+   linked in the public announcement.
+#. Commits will be handled in a private repository for review and
+   testing and a new patch version will be released from this private
+   repository.
+#. If a vulnerability is unintentionally already fixed in the public
+   repository, a few days are given to downstream stakeholders/vendors
+   to prepare for updating before the public disclosure.
+#. An announcement will be made disclosing the vulnerability. The
+   fastest place to receive security announcements is via the
+   `ceph-announce@ceph.io <ceph-announce@ceph.io>`_ or
+   `oss-security@lists.openwall.com <oss-security@lists.openwall.com>`_ mailing
+   lists.  (These lists are low-traffic).
+
+If the report is considered embargoed, we ask you to not disclose the
+vulnerability before it has been fixed and announced, unless you
+received a response from the Ceph security team that you can do
+so. This holds true until the public disclosure date that was agreed
+upon by the list. Thank you for improving the security of Ceph and its
+ecosystem. Your efforts and responsible disclosure are greatly
+appreciated and will be acknowledged.
