So, to get notified of all security incidents, please subscribe to our releases on github. + +## Report a Vulnerability + +We’re extremely grateful for security researchers and users that report vulnerabilities to Netdata Open Source Community. All reports are thoroughly investigated by a set of community volunteers. + +To make a report, please email the private [security@netdata.cloud](mailto:security@netdata.cloud) list with the security details and the details expected for [all netdata bug reports](../.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md). + +## When Should I Report a Vulnerability? + +- You think you discovered a potential security vulnerability in Netdata +- You are unsure how a vulnerability affects Netdata +- You think you discovered a vulnerability in another project that Netdata depends on (e.g. python, node, etc) + +### When Should I NOT Report a Vulnerability? + +- You need help tuning Netdata for security +- You need help applying security related updates +- Your issue is not security related + +## Security Vulnerability Response + +Each report is acknowledged and analyzed by Netdata Team members within 3 working days. This will set off a Security Release Process. + +Any vulnerability information shared with Netdata Team stays within Netdata project and will not be disseminated to other projects unless it is necessary to get the issue fixed. + +As the security issue moves from triage, to identified fix, to release planning we will keep the reporter updated. + +## Public Disclosure Timing + +A public disclosure date is negotiated by the Netdata team and the bug submitter. We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible once a user mitigation is available. It is reasonable to delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood, the solution is not well-tested, or for vendor coordination. The timeframe for disclosure is from immediate (especially if it's already publicly known) to a few weeks. As a basic default, we expect report date to disclosure date to be on the order of 7 days. The Netdata team holds the final say when setting a disclosure date. |
