We take security of this package very seriously.
We will issue security updates for PyPI releases with the latest minor version number (regardless of micro version), by releasing a new minor version.
If you find a vulnerability which is not in any of the PyPI releases with the latest minor version, you should instead report it as a bug by filing an issue.
To report a vulnerability, please send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
- how we can contact you privately
- how you wish to be publicly identified for the purpose of credit when we disclose the vulnerability
- which package releases are affected
- the Python version (including OS, if relevant) and the versions of all dependencies that you used when confirming the vulnerability
- detailed description of the vulnerability, including how we can reproduce it
We will come back to you within 24 hours to acknowledge your report and we will provide a detailed response within 48 hours, including an initial assessment of how we intend to address the vulnerability you disclosed. If the fix requires a prolonged amount of time (> 1 week), we will send you weekly updates on our progress.
- Upon initial acknowledgment, we will assign a Unique ID
UID
to your security report, which we will reference in all our communications using the header[security report #UID]
. - Fixes are prepared and held locally in a new branch, without pushing to the public repository.
- When all fixes are ready to be pushed, an issue announcing the existence of a vulnerability is opened on GitHub: this includes package versions affected, security report UID and embargo date (typically 72 hours from the issue being opened), but no further information.
- On the embargo date, the fix branch is pushed and merged into the main branch, closing the issue, and a new minor version is released on both PyPI and GitHub. The release notes on GitHub provide a detailed description of the vulnerability, including credit to the initial discloser(s), as well as a summary of how the vulnerability was patched.
