Security Policy

Until I have the version 1.0.0 release, I'll support only the last two minor versions with security updates.

Supported Versions

| Version | Supported | | ---------- | ------------------ | | v2.0.x | :white_check_mark: | | < v2.0.0 | :x: |

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you have any issue regarding security, please disclose the information responsibly by sending a report to https://github.com/sanko/Net-BitTorrent-DHT.pm/security/advisories/new and not at the public issue tracker or via email.

Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

Maintaining the security of our open-source software is paramount. This policy outlines a responsible approach to addressing vulnerabilities, balancing transparency with the need to protect users.

• Security vulnerabilities identified in the project will be assigned a unique identifier and (if applicable) a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier.

• The project's Maintainers will be responsible for addressing the vulnerability through a standard pull request, backporting the fix to immediate prior minor release branch, and including the fix in the next stable release.

• Release notes for the patched version will include the assigned identifier and, if applicable, the CVE identifier for the vulnerability.

• A grace period will be provided for Maintainers to update the vulerable minor version and remove vulerable releases from PAUSE (nothing can be done about backpan).

  This period will be one month for non-critical vulnerabilities and three months for critical vulnerabilities.

• After the grace period has elapsed, the vulnerability details will be made public.
