Hi Dian,

Good idea and +1 to setup security mailing list.
Security vulnerabilities should not be publicly disclosed (e.g. via dev ML
or JIRA) until the project has responded.
However, AFAIK, Flink doesn't have an official process to
report vulnerabilities.
It would be nice to have one to protect Flink users and response security
problems quickly.

Btw, we may also need a dedicated page to describe the security
vulnerabilities report process and CVE list on the website.

Best,
Jark
