< h3 > Reporting a Security Bug< / h3 >
< p >
Please report to us any issues you find.
This document explains how to do that and what to expect in return.
< / p >
< p >
All security bugs in the Go distribution should be reported by email to
< a href = "mailto:security@golang.org" > security@golang.org< / a > .
This mail is delivered to a small security team.
Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you'll receive a more
detailed response to your email within 72 hours indicating the next steps in
handling your report.
2017-04-16 09:20:34 -06:00
For critical problems, you can encrypt your report using our PGP key (listed below).

< / p >
< p >
Please use a descriptive subject line for your report email.
After the initial reply to your report, the security team will endeavor to keep
you informed of the progress being made towards a fix and full announcement.
These updates will be sent at least every five days.
In reality, this is more likely to be every 24-48 hours.
< / p >
< p >
If you have not received a reply to your email within 48 hours or you have not
heard from the security team for the past five days please contact the Go
security team directly:

< h3 > Flagging Existing Issues as Security-related< / h3 >
< p >
If you believe that an < a href = "https://golang.org/issue" > existing issue< / a >
is security-related, we ask that you send an email to
< a href = "mailto:security@golang.org" > security@golang.org< / a > .
The email should include the issue ID and a short description of why it should
be handled according to this security policy.
< / p >
< h3 > Disclosure Process< / h3 >
< p > The Go project uses the following disclosure process:< / p >
< ol >
< li > Once the security report is received it is assigned a primary handler.
This person coordinates the fix and release process.< / li >
< li > The issue is confirmed and a list of affected software is determined.< / li >
< li > Code is audited to find any potential similar problems.< / li >
< li > If it is determined, in consultation with the submitter, that a CVE-ID is
required, the primary handler obtains one via email to
2018-12-10 13:32:17 -07:00
< a href = "https://oss-security.openwall.org/wiki/mailing-lists/distros" > oss-distros< / a > .< / li >
2016-02-21 13:42:38 -07:00
< li > Fixes are prepared for the two most recent major releases and the head/master
2015-08-26 23:40:46 -06:00
revision. These fixes are not yet committed to the public repository.< / li >
< li > A notification is sent to the
< a href = "https://groups.google.com/group/golang-announce" > golang-announce< / a >
mailing list to give users time to prepare their systems for the update.< / li >
< li > Three working days following this notification, the fixes are applied to
the < a href = "https://go.googlesource.com/go" > public repository< / a > and a new
Go release is issued.< / li >
< li > On the date that the fixes are applied, announcements are sent to
< a href = "https://groups.google.com/group/golang-announce" > golang-announce< / a > ,
< a href = "https://groups.google.com/group/golang-dev" > golang-dev< / a > , and
< a href = "https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts" > golang-nuts< / a > .
< / ol >
< p >
This process can take some time, especially when coordination is required with
maintainers of other projects. Every effort will be made to handle the bug in
as timely a manner as possible, however it's important that we follow the
process described above to ensure that disclosures are handled consistently.
< / p >
< p >
For security issues that include the assignment of a CVE-ID,
the issue is listed publicly under the
< a href = "https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-14185/Golang.html" > "Golang" product on the CVEDetails website< / a >
as well as the
< a href = "https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search" > National Vulnerability Disclosure site< / a > .
< / p >
< h3 > Receiving Security Updates< / h3 >
< p >
The best way to receive security announcements is to subscribe to the
< a href = "https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-announce" > golang-announce< / a >
mailing list. Any messages pertaining to a security issue will be prefixed
with < code > [security]< / code > .
< / p >
< h3 > Comments on This Policy< / h3 >
< p >
If you have any suggestions to improve this policy, please send an email to
< a href = "mailto:golang-dev@golang.org" > golang-dev@golang.org< / a > for discussion.
< / p >
< h3 > PGP Key for < a href = "mailto:security@golang.org" > security@golang.org< / a > < / h3 >
2017-04-16 09:20:34 -06:00
< p >
We accept PGP-encrypted email, but the majority of the security team
are not regular PGP users so it's somewhat inconvenient. Please only
use PGP for critical security reports.
