Security: hyperpolymath/standards

SECURITY.md

Security Policy

hyperpolymath/standards is the policy-and-tooling canon for the estate: it ships specifications, CI workflows, and small local utilities — no networked services and no production credentials.

Supported versions

Only the tip of main is supported. The workflows and scripts in this repository are consumed by pinned commit SHA across the estate; older commits are superseded, not maintained.

Reporting a vulnerability

Do not open a public issue. Use one of these private channels:

  1. Private vulnerability reporting on this repository (preferred — keeps the report linked to the fix), or
  2. Email the maintainer: j.d.a.jewell@open.ac.uk.

Include the affected file(s) and commit SHA, steps to reproduce, and the impact you see. Reports are acknowledged within 7 days; fixes land as ordinary pull requests and are credited in the release notes unless you ask otherwise.

Scope notes

  • Findings from the estate's own scanners (Hypatia, CodeQL, secret scanning) are already tracked: see .hypatia-baseline.json for acknowledged items.
  • Supply-chain pins live in .github/workflows/actions.lock, verified in CI on every change — a stale lock fails the build rather than shipping.
