[guide] SECURITY.md missing — no vulnerability disclosure policy for a signed-release OS repo #13

Description

@clubanderson

Documentation Gap

projectbluefin/server produces signed OS images and sysext artifacts but has no SECURITY.md at the repo root. There is no documented path for reporting security vulnerabilities.

GitHub's default security advisory flow exists, but without an explicit SECURITY.md, contributors and security researchers have no guidance on:

  • Which versions/streams are supported
  • How to report vulnerabilities privately
  • Expected response time
  • Scope of the disclosure policy

Impact

Security researchers and users who discover vulnerabilities in server OS images have no clear disclosure path. This is especially significant for a repo producing signed release artifacts.

Recommendation

Add a SECURITY.md at the repo root with: supported scope, private disclosure contact (GitHub Security Advisories or email), expected response SLA, and a note about GPG/sigstore attestation verification.
