## Reporting a Bug

The VMClarity team and community take all security bugs in
VMClarity seriously. Thank you for improving the security of
VMClarity. We appreciate your efforts and responsible disclosure and
will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

Report security bugs by emailing `oss-security@cisco.com`.

The lead maintainer will acknowledge your email within 48 hours, and will send a
more detailed response within 48 hours indicating the next steps in handling
your report. After the initial reply to your report, the security team will
endeavor to keep you informed of the progress towards a fix and full
announcement, and may ask for additional information or guidance.

## Disclosure Policy

When the security team receives a security bug report, they will assign it to a
primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process,
involving the following steps:

- Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions.
- Audit code to find any potential similar problems.
- Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be
  released as quickly as possible.
