This file is the project-specific reference to the project's
Security Model, which the canned responses and validity
assessments cite as the authoritative answer to "is this a
vulnerability in <Project>?".
Project-agnostic drafting rules (tone, brevity, threading) live in
the repo-level ../../AGENTS.md. The content
the responses link to is what lives here.
Authoritative URL
TODO: the URL to the project's public Security Model. Canned responses must link directly to the relevant chapter instead of paraphrasing it; paraphrases drift over time and create a second source of truth that has to be maintained.
Example shape:
The [
<Project>Security Model](TODO: URL) is the authoritative source for what is and is not considered a security vulnerability in<Project>.
Known-useful anchors
TODO: list anchor fragments that canned responses commonly link to. One anchor per bullet, slug-form.
Example shape:
#capabilities-of-X#Y-executing-arbitrary-code
Drafting rule
When adding a new canned response, identify the matching chapter in
the Security Model first. If no chapter covers the case, that is a
signal the Security Model should be updated upstream (in the
project's source repository) rather than duplicated in
canned-responses.md.
Public security policy
TODO: the project's public-facing SECURITY.md or equivalent URL
(what reporters are expected to follow).
Severity-rating reference
TODO: for ASF projects, the
ASF Severity Rating blog post
is the rubric. For other projects, point at whatever rubric the
team uses when scoring severity. Reporter-supplied CVSS scores are
informational only — the ASF-level rule that governs this is in
the repo-level
../../AGENTS.md
(it is not project-specific).
