The SaltStack Security Team is available at security@saltstack.com for
security-related bug reports or questions.

We request the disclosure of any security-related bugs or issues be reported
non-publicly until such time as the issue can be resolved and a security-fix
release can be prepared. At that time we will release the fix and make a public
announcement with upgrade instructions and download locations.

## Security response procedure

SaltStack takes security and the trust of our customers and users very
seriously. Our disclosure policy is intended to resolve security issues as
quickly and safely as is possible.

1.  A security report sent to security@saltstack.com is assigned to a team
    member. This person is the primary contact for questions and will
    coordinate the fix, release, and announcement.

2.  The reported issue is reproduced and confirmed. A list of affected projects
    and releases is made.

3.  Fixes are implemented for all affected projects and releases that are
    actively supported. Back-ports of the fix are made to any old releases that
    are actively supported.

4.  Packagers are notified via the [salt-packagers](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/salt-packagers) mailing list that an issue
    was reported and resolved, and that an announcement is incoming.

5.  A new release is created and pushed to all affected repositories. The
    release documentation provides a full description of the issue, plus any
    upgrade instructions or other relevant details.

6.  An announcement is made to the [salt-users](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/salt-users) and [salt-announce](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/salt-announce) mailing
    lists. The announcement contains a description of the issue and a link to
    the full release documentation and download locations.

## Receiving security announcements

The fastest place to receive security announcements is via the [salt-announce](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/salt-announce)
mailing list. This list is low-traffic.
