Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, discussion threads, or the Discord channel. A public report tells everyone about the weakness before there is a fix available.
Report vulnerabilities privately using GitHub's "Report a vulnerability" button, under the Security tab of the affected repository. This opens a private advisory visible only to you and the maintainers.
Include as much as you can:
- The component affected and the version or commit you tested against
- What an attacker could do with the issue
- Steps to reproduce it, including configuration or sample data where relevant
- Any logs, stack traces or proof-of-concept code
You do not need a working exploit to report something. If you think a behavior looks wrong, tell us.
We acknowledge your report within 3 working days. Within 10 working days we tell you whether we could reproduce it and give you our initial assessment. After that we keep you updated at least every 2 weeks until it is resolved.
Once a fix is ready we publish it as a release and note the issue in the release notes. We will credit you by name unless you ask us not to.
We ask that you give us a reasonable chance to fix the issue before describing it publicly.
Security fixes are applied to the latest released version of each component. If you are running an older version, the fix will be to upgrade.
See the release notes for the current versions.
This policy covers the Obsrv components published under the Sunbird-Obsrv organization.
Obsrv is deployed into infrastructure that you operate. Vulnerabilities in the underlying components that Obsrv builds on, such as Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark, Druid and PostgreSQL, should go to those projects directly. If you are not sure which applies, report it to us and we will route it.
The published version lives at https://obsrv.sunbird.org/engage/security.
