4Security Disclosures
5--------------------
6
7We disclose all security vulnerabilities we find, or are advised about, that are
8relevant to Trusted Firmware-A. We encourage responsible disclosure of
9vulnerabilities and inform users as best we can about all possible issues.
10
11We disclose TF-A vulnerabilities as Security Advisories, all of which are listed
12at the bottom of this page. Any new ones will, additionally, be announced as
13issues in the project's `issue tracker`_ with the ``security-advisory`` tag. You
14can receive notification emails for these by watching the "Trusted Firmware-A"
15project at https://developer.trustedfirmware.org/.

17Found a Security Issue?
18-----------------------
19
20Although we try to keep TF-A secure, we can only do so with the help of the
21community of developers and security researchers.
22
23If you think you have found a security vulnerability, please **do not** report it
24in the `issue tracker`_. Instead send an email to
25trusted-firmware-security@arm.com
26
27Please include:
28
29* Trusted Firmware-A version (or commit) affected
30
31* A description of the concern or vulnerability
32
33* Details on how to replicate the vulnerability, including:
34
35  - Configuration details
36
37  - Proof of concept exploit code
38
39  - Any additional software or tools required
40
41We recommend using :download:`this PGP/GPG key <./security-reporting.asc>` for
42encrypting the information. This key is also available at
43http://keyserver.pgp.com and LDAP port 389 of the same server.

51If you would like replies to be encrypted, please provide your public key.
52
53Please give us the time to respond to you and fix the vulnerability before going
54public. We do our best to respond and fix any issues quickly. We also need to
55ensure providers of products that use TF-A have a chance to consider the
56implications of the vulnerability and its remedy.
57
58Afterwards, we encourage you to write-up your findings about the TF-A source
59code.
