| 1 | +# Project Mu Security Policy |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Project Mu is an open source firmware project that is leveraged by and combined into |
| 4 | +other projects to build the firmware for a given product. We build and maintain this |
| 5 | +code with the intent that any consuming projects can use this code as-is. If features |
| 6 | +or fixes are necessary we ask that they contribute them back to the project. **But**, that |
| 7 | +said, in the firmware ecosystem there is a lot of variation and differentiation, and |
| 8 | +the license in this project allows flexibility for use without contribution back to |
| 9 | +Project Mu. Therefore, any issues found here may or may not exist in products using Project Mu. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Supported Versions |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Due to the usage model we generally only supply fixes to the most recent release branch (or main). |
| 14 | +For a serious vulnerability we may patch older release branches. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Additional Notes |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +Project Mu contains code that is available and/or originally authored in other |
| 19 | +repositories (see <https://github.com/tianocore/edk2> as one such example). For any |
| 20 | +vulnerability found, we may be subject to their security policy and may need to work |
| 21 | +with those groups to resolve amicably and patch the "upstream". This might involve |
| 22 | +additional time to release and/or additional confidentiality requirements. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## Reporting a Vulnerability |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.** |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Instead please use **Github Private vulnerability reporting**, which is enabled for each Project Mu |
| 29 | +repository. This process is well documented by github in their documentation [here](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/guidance-on-reporting-and-writing/privately-reporting-a-security-vulnerability#privately-reporting-a-security-vulnerability). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +This process will allow us to privately discuss the issue, collaborate on a solution, and then disclose the vulnerability. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Preferred Languages |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +We prefer all communications to be in English. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Policy |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Microsoft follows the principle of [Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/cvd). |
