## Agenda

- 2026-02-19 @ 16:00 UTC.

## Attending

- @sjn, @stigtsp, @robrwo, @timlegge

- Regrets @leont

## Minutes

- @stigtsp
- CVE workflow
- Working on alternative workflow tools for CVE based on YAML that is easier to use than Vulnogram
- Allows possible bulk updates

- @sjn @robrwo
- Questions about posting links to CVEs in Mastodon, BlueSky etc.
- There is no RSS available for the CVE announcement list
- @sjn suggests a custom emitter that produces content suitable for manual cut&paste (max 280 chars) for now. API auto-posting can come later

- @timlegge
- Suggests that a copy of published CVEs should be kept in a public git repo
- This should be a file copy, not clone of CNA repo, with sanity checks to ensure CVEs public
- @robrwo notes that we host patches from CNA repo on CPANSec website, and could host CVEs there as well
- @stigtsp MITRE has a public git repo, so this may be unnecessary

- @robrwo
- Working on CVE Workflow documentation
- CVE "style guide" that could be incorporated into @stigtsp's cna tool

- @timlegge
- OpenSSF Vulnerability Disclosure WG
- AI slop is leading to many groups getting rid of bug bounties
- WG is working on best practices to deal with slop
- WG working on a survey of maintainers
- time that users spend on open source projects?
- are they paid for working on open source?
- can they deal with AI reports?

- Discussions of vulnerabilties
- Details omitted from agenda.

- @sjn
- Suggested improving vulnerability disclosure process with time, phases and well-publiched steps.

- @robrwo
- Experimental triage repo unused, should be deleted @stiptsp
- Give triage list members access to the CNA repo, and use that for issue tracking
- Create a kanban

- @sjn
- Perl Toolchain Summit (PTS)
- Focusing on EU Cyber Resiliance Act (CRA) steward organisation
- Need to decide what the org looks like and set it up so it can be formally created
- CPANSec would be a member, but separate from the stweard org
- We have funding (via TPRF's budget) that we can choose to use to help fund a third room at PTS
- we have to get the EU CRA to work for CPAN, we *have* to update the META spec to fully update the dependency graph.
- @sjn calls for volunteers! This is critically important.

- @stigtsp
- CPAN pURLs
- Spec does not support selector use case we need for CVEs (author/version constraints)
- Work in process
- @sjn calls for volunteers to finish the work ASAP.

- @sjn
- TPRF has dedicated part of their budget to CPANSec
- @stiptsp
- Suggestion for sending message to the cpansec discussion mailing list with a short budget
- Goal: put together a formal decision-making process for CPANSec

- @robrwo
- We need tools for accessing community documentation (license, security policy, etc)
- Meta spec/tools for downloading and showing these documents
- Possible PTS project

- @stigstp
- Demo of `cna` tool https://github.com/CPAN-Security/cna-tool
