Hi List,
Cc'ing the dev list too because this raises a question that some googling
doesn't answer - does GeoServer have a Responsible (or Full) Disclosure
policy? I can't seem to find anything which is surprising given the nature
of GeoServer as a server and thus potentially a portal into many
organisations.

Those with commercial support can go to their vendor, but a security
researcher (or just random person) won't have that. And beyond that, it
doesn't address whether GeoServer should go with Full or Responsible
disclosure (or something else) - something for the PSC? Many projects have
a "[email protected]" email address which points to something private.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsible_disclosure
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_disclosure_(computer_security)

Thoughts?
Cheers,
Jonathan

 Hi,

In general, how do you handle potential security flaws? Do we discuss the
potential flaw here on the mailing list?



Regards
