Security Policy

Definitions

1. A documented policy describing how security issues should be reported, handled, and disclosed for a project or organization. In open-source governance, a visible security policy lowers confusion for both researchers and maintainers during incidents.

   In plain English: The documented rules for reporting and handling security issues.

   Example: "Adding a security policy stopped researchers from filing sensitive bugs in public issues and gave everyone a clearer disclosure path."
