Fineract Community -

Please note the efforts to create new approach to security at open source
projects.

https://news.apache.org/foundation/entry/open-source-community-unites-to-build-cra-compliant-cybersecurity-processes

Key message is that a consortium will:

“…enumerate existing security policies and procedures of the respective
open source foundations, and similar documents describing best practices.
For years, the foundations and communities have created and maintained
industry best practices for secure software development processes. With
these best practices as our starting point, we aim to accelerate the
development of cohesive cybersecurity processes required for regulatory
compliance while offering a neutral environment for hosting technical
discussions with the open source community at-large….”

By implication, it is likely that compliance to established norms will
become a heavier requirement for the project.

We are, by my assessment, not abiding by the timeframes for fixing
vulnerabilities, among other issues.

Please note. There is still time to fix our community.
