| _ISO 27005 defines vulnerability as: |
| "A weakness of an asset or group of assets that can be exploited by one or more threats."_ |
| |
| ## Reporting a Security Vulnerability |
| |
| Vulnerabilities can be reported either via |
| [email to the Eclipse Security Team](security@eclipse-foundation.org) |
| or using the |
| [dedicated security issue tracker](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/vulnerability-reports/-/issues/new?issuable_template=new_vulnerability). |
| |
| ## Additional Information |
| |
| **The Eclipse Foundation Security Team** provides help and advice to Eclipse Foundation projects on |
| vulnerability issues and is the first point of contact for handling security vulnerabilities. |
| Members of the Eclipse Foundation Security Team are selected amongs committers on Eclipse Projects, |
| members of the Eclipse Architecture Council, and Eclipse Foundation staff. |
| |
| The general security mailing list address is security@eclipse-foundation.org. Members of the Eclipse |
| Foundation Security Team will receive messages sent to this address. This address should be used |
| only for reporting undisclosed vulnerabilities; regular issue reports and questions unrelated to |
| vulnerabilities in Eclipse Foundation software will be ignored. Note that this email set to this |
| address is not encrypted. |
| |
| **Note that, as a matter of policy, the security team does not open attachments.** |
| |
| The community is also encouraged to report vulnerabilities using the |
| [Eclipse Foundation’s issue tracker](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/security/vulnerability-reports/-/issues/new?issuable_template=new_vulnerability). |
| Note that you will need an Eclipse Foundation account to create an issue report |
| ([create an account here if you do not have one](https://accounts.eclipse.org/user/register?destination=user)), |
| but by doing so you will be able to participate directly in the resolution of the issue. |
| |
| Issue reports related to vulnerabilities must be marked as “confidential”, either automatically by |
| clicking the provided link by the reporter, or by a committer during the triage process. |
| |
| ## Disclosure |
| |
| The timing and manner of disclosure is governed by the |
| [Eclipse Foundation Vulnerability Reporting Policy](https://www.eclipse.org/security/policy). |
| |
| Publicly disclosed issues are listed on the |
| [Disclosed Vulnerabilities page](https://www.eclipse.org/security/known). |
