| 3 | +This document outlines security procedures and general policies for all `ThrowTheSwitch.org` |
| 4 | +projects, including `Unity`, `CMock`, and `Ceedling`. |

| 7 | + * [Disclosure Policy](#disclosure-policy) |

| 10 | +## Reporting a Bug |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The tools from `ThrowTheSwitch.org` are made to collaborate with other tools like compilers, |
| 13 | +simulators, and such, and therefore have very low-level access to the world they live in. |
| 14 | +However, they are typically used in controlled development-centered environments. As such, |
| 15 | +they are typically not directly exposed to security concerns. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +The `ThrowTheSwitch.org` community takes security bugs seriously. Where possible, we will |
| 18 | +make every effort to improve our tools safe use. Thank you for improving the security of |
| 19 | +our tools. We appreciate your efforts and responsible disclosure and will make every effort |
| 20 | +to acknowledge your contributions. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Report security bugs by opening a Github Issue on the corresponding project or (when this |
| 23 | +itself would pose a risk) by emailing [email protected]. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Report security bugs in third-party modules to the person or team maintaining |
| 26 | +the module. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Disclosure Policy |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Each issue will be assigned to a primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and |
| 31 | +release process, involving the following steps: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + * Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions. |
| 34 | + * Audit code to find any potential similar problems. |
| 35 | + * Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be |
| 36 | + released as fast as possible. |
| 37 | + |
