We take security seriously. If you discover a security vulnerability in OpenWave, please report it responsibly.
Do NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.
Instead, please report vulnerabilities by:
- Email: Send details to the project maintainers (contact information available in the repository)
- GitHub Security Advisories: Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature at Security Advisories
When reporting a vulnerability, please include:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce the issue
- Potential impact assessment
- Any suggested fixes (optional but appreciated)
- Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your report within 48 hours
- Assessment: We will investigate and assess the severity within 7 days
- Updates: We will keep you informed of our progress
- Resolution: We aim to resolve critical vulnerabilities promptly
- Credit: With your permission, we will credit you in the security advisory
This security policy applies to:
- The OpenWave core simulation engine
- Official OpenWave packages and releases
- Code in the main repository
This policy does not cover:
- Third-party dependencies (report to their maintainers)
- Unofficial forks or modifications
