Security is of the highest importance and all security vulnerabilities or suspected security vulnerabilities should be reported to Tanzu CLI privately, to minimize attacks against current users of Tanzu CLI before they are fixed. Vulnerabilities will be investigated and patched on the next patch (or minor) release as soon as possible. This information could be kept entirely internal to the project.

If you know of a publicly disclosed security vulnerability for Tanzu CLI, please **IMMEDIATELY** contact the VMware Security Team (security@vmware.com). The use of encrypted email is encouraged. The public PGP key can be found [here](https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?legacyId=1055). **IMPORTANT: Do not file public issues on GitHub for security vulnerabilities**

To report a vulnerability or a security-related issue, please contact the VMware email address with the details of the vulnerability. The email will be fielded by the VMware Security Team and then shared with the Tanzu CLI maintainers who have committer and release permissions. Emails will be addressed within 3 business days, including a detailed plan to investigate the issue and any potential workarounds to perform in the meantime. Do not report non-security-impacting bugs through this channel. Use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/tanzu-cli/issues) instead.

## Proposed Email Content

Provide a descriptive subject line and in the body of the email include the following information:

* Basic identity information, such as your name and your affiliation or company.
* Detailed steps to reproduce the vulnerability (POC scripts, screenshots, and logs are all helpful to us).
* Description of the effects of the vulnerability on Tanzu CLI and the related hardware and software configurations, so that the VMware Security Team can reproduce it.
* Description of the effects of the vulnerability on Tanzu CLI and the related hardware and software configurations, so that the Broadcom Security Team can reproduce it.
* How the vulnerability affects Tanzu CLI usage and an estimation of the attack surface, if there is one.
* List other projects or dependencies that were used in conjunction with Tanzu CLI to produce the vulnerability.

5. The Security Team will also create a [CVSS](https://www.first.org/cvss/specification-document) using the [CVSS Calculator](https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.0). The Security Team makes the final call on the calculated CVSS; it is better to move quickly than making the CVSS perfect. Issues may also be reported to [Mitre](https://cve.mitre.org/) using this [scoring calculator](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator). The CVE will initially be set to private.
6. The Security Team will work on fixing the vulnerability and perform internal testing before preparing to roll out the fix.
7. The Security Team will provide early disclosure of the vulnerability by emailing the Tanzu CLI Distributors (`tanzu-cli-distributors@googlegroups.com`) mailing list. Distributors can initially plan for the vulnerability patch ahead of the fix, and later can test the fix and provide feedback to the Tanzu CLI team. See the section **Early Disclosure to Tanzu CLI Distributors List** for details about how to join this mailing list.
8. A public disclosure date is negotiated by the VMware Security Team, the bug submitter, and the distributors list. We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible once a user mitigation or patch is available. It is reasonable to delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood, the solution is not well-tested, or for distributor coordination. The timeframe for disclosure is from immediate (especially if it’s already publicly known) to a few weeks. For a critical vulnerability with a straightforward mitigation, we expect the report date for the public disclosure date to be on the order of 14 business days. The VMware Security Team holds the final say when setting a public disclosure date.

## Confidentiality, integrity and availability

We consider vulnerabilities leading to the compromise of data confidentiality, elevation of privilege, or integrity to be our highest priority concerns. Availability, in particular in areas relating to DoS and resource exhaustion, is also a serious security concern. The VMware Security Team takes all vulnerabilities, potential vulnerabilities, and suspected vulnerabilities seriously and will investigate them in an urgent and expeditious manner.

The Broadcom Security Team takes all vulnerabilities, potential vulnerabilities, and suspected vulnerabilities seriously and will investigate them in an urgent and expeditious manner.

Note that we do not currently consider the default settings for Tanzu CLI to be secure-by-default. It is necessary for operators to explicitly configure settings, role based access control, and other resource related features in Tanzu CLI to provide a hardened CLI environment. We will not act on any security disclosure that relates to a lack of safe defaults. Over time, we will work towards improved safe-by-default configuration, taking into account backwards compatibility.
