Security Handling
=================
Security Disclosures
--------------------
We disclose all security vulnerabilities we find, or are advised about, that are
relevant to Trusted Firmware-A. We encourage responsible disclosure of
vulnerabilities and inform users as best we can about all possible issues.
We disclose TF-A vulnerabilities as Security Advisories, all of which are listed
at the bottom of this page. Any new ones will, additionally, be announced as
issues in the project's `issue tracker`_ with the ``security-advisory`` tag. You
can receive notification emails for these by watching the "Trusted Firmware-A"
project at https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/.
Found a Security Issue?
-----------------------
Although we try to keep TF-A secure, we can only do so with the help of the
community of developers and security researchers.
If you think you have found a security vulnerability, please **do not** report
it in the `issue tracker`_. Instead, please follow the `TrustedFirmware.org
security incident process`_. One of the goals of this process is to ensure
providers of products that use TF-A have a chance to consider the implications
of the vulnerability and its remedy before it is made public. As such, please
follow the disclosure plan outlined in the process. We do our best to respond
and fix any issues quickly.
Afterwards, we encourage you to write-up your findings about the TF-A source
code.
