Security Advisory

Definitions

1. A formal notice describing a security issue, its impact, affected versions, and mitigation or upgrade guidance. In responsible disclosure culture, a good security advisory helps users act quickly without forcing them to reverse-engineer the problem from rumors.

   In plain English: A formal notice explaining a software security issue and how to respond.

   Example: "The maintainers published a security advisory with affected versions and remediation steps, which gave downstream teams enough information to patch before exploitation spread."
