This document outlines the security policy for the DevExchange open-source project, a community-driven platform for asking and answering programming questions. The policy is intended to provide guidelines and procedures for reporting, triaging, and addressing security vulnerabilities in the project.
The security policy covers the codebase and documentation of the open-source project, as well as any related infrastructure and services.
The project will provide a dedicated email address (technodes2.0@gmail.com) for submitting vulnerability reports related to the DevExchange website or any associated services. Vulnerability reports will be reviewed and triaged by the project's maintainers. The aim is to respond to vulnerability reports within 72 hours and provide regular updates on the status of the vulnerability and any remediation efforts.
The maintainers are responsible for handling vulnerability reports and making decisions about how to address them. They will also work with contributors to resolve issues as quickly as possible.
DevExchange will aim to resolve critical vulnerabilities within 30 days and non-critical vulnerabilities within 90 days. These deadlines may extend if additional time is needed to address the issue(s).
DevExchange will guide secure coding practices for contributors, including guidelines for input validation, authentication, authorization, and data protection.
The security policy will be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains effective and relevant. The maintainers will evaluate the vulnerability disclosure process, update secure coding guidelines, and revise the response timeline as needed.
DevExchange will follow a coordinated disclosure policy, which means that vulnerabilities will be disclosed publicly only after they have been remediated.
The security policy includes a legal disclaimer that limits the liability of the project maintainers and contributors for any security vulnerabilities or incidents that occur as a result of using the DevExchange website or any associated services.
If you have any questions or concerns about the security policy or any security vulnerabilities in the project, please contact us at technodes2.0@gmail.com.
By implementing this security policy, we aim to ensure that vulnerabilities are addressed promptly and that users and contributors can use DevExchange safely and securely.
