SECURITY
Reporting security vulnerabilities
==================================
Oracle values the independent security research community and believes that
responsible disclosure of security vulnerabilities helps us ensure the security
and privacy of all our users.
Please do NOT raise a GitHub Issue to report a security vulnerability. If you
believe you have found a security vulnerability, please submit a report to
[email protected] preferably with a proof of concept. Please review
some additional information on how to report security vulnerabilities to Oracle,
see https://www.oracle.com/corporate/security-practices/assurance/vulnerability/reporting.html
We encourage people who contact Oracle Security to use email encryption using
our encryption key, see https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/encryptionkey.html
We ask that you do not use other channels or contact the project maintainers
directly.
Security updates, alerts and bulletins
--------------------------------------
Security updates will be released on a regular cadence. Many of our projects
will typically release security fixes in conjunction with the Oracle Critical Patch
Update program. Additional information, including past advisories, is available on our
security alerts page at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/
Security-related information
----------------------------
We will provide security related information such as a threat model, considerations
for secure use, or any known security issues in our documentation. Please note
that labs and sample code are intended to demonstrate a concept and may not be
sufficiently hardened for production use.
