## Security Announcements
|
||
|
||
Join the [kubernetes-announce](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-announce) group for emails about security and major API announcements.
|
||
|
||
## Report a Vulnerability
|
||
|
||
We’re extremely grateful for security researchers and users that report vulnerabilities to the Kubernetes Open Source Community. All reports are thoroughly investigated by a set of community volunteers.
|
||
|
||
To make a report, please email the private [kubernetes-security@googlegroups.com](mailto:kubernetes-security@googlegroups.com) list with the security details and the details expected for [all Kubernetes bug reports](https://git.k8s.io/kubernetes/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md).
|
||
|
||
You may encrypt your email to this list using the GPG keys of the [Product Security Team members](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/security-release-process.md#product-security-team-pst). Encryption using GPG is NOT required to make a disclosure.
|
||
|
||
### When Should I Report a Vulnerability?
|
||
|
||
- You think you discovered a potential security vulnerability in Kubernetes
|
||
- You are unsure how a vulnerability affects Kubernetes
|
||
- You think you discovered a vulnerability in another project that Kubernetes depends on (e.g. docker, rkt, etcd)
|
||
|
||
### When Should I NOT Report a Vulnerability?
|
||
|
||
- You need help tuning Kubernetes components for security
|
||
- You need help applying security related updates
|
||
- Your issue is not security related
|
||
|
||
## Security Vulnerability Response
|
||
|
||
Each report is acknowledged and analyzed by Product Security Team members within 3 working days. This will set off the [Security Release Process](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/security-release-process.md#product-security-team-pst).
|
||
|
||
Any vulnerability information shared with Product Security Team stays within Kubernetes project and will not be disseminated to other projects unless it is necessary to get the issue fixed.
|
||
|
||
As the security issue moves from triage, to identified fix, to release planning we will keep the reporter updated.
|
||
|
||
## Public Disclosure Timing
|
||
|
||
A public disclosure date is negotiated by the Kubernetes product security team and the bug submitter. We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible once a user mitigation is available. It is reasonable to delay disclosure when the bug or the fix is not yet fully understood, the solution is not well-tested, or for vendor coordination. The timeframe for disclosure is from immediate (especially if it's already publicly known) to a few weeks. As a basic default, we expect report date to disclosure date to be on the order of 7 days. The Kubernetes product security team holds the final say when setting a disclosure date.
