Adds a SECURITY.md so reporters and triagers have a clear scope statement for the bug bounty program.

It mirrors the stellar-core stub (bug bounty link), then documents that the published stellar/stellar-cli Docker images are in scope while the build/release tooling (scripts/, .github/workflows/) is not — because that tooling runs only in CI or locally and never receives untrusted input (values come from reviewed builds.json, pinned actions, admin-set repo variables, or a maintainer's own CLI args).

It calls out the specific finding classes this rules out — argument injection, path traversal via path flags, and crash-on-malformed-input — so recurring reports against the scripts can be closed by reference, while leaving the door open for genuinely untrusted input (e.g. a fork PR) reaching a script with real impact.

Pull request overview

Adds a repository-level security policy to clarify bug bounty reporting and explicitly define what parts of this repo are in/out of scope, so reporters and maintainers can quickly triage recurring reports against CI/local tooling.

Changes:

  • Introduces SECURITY.md describing how to report vulnerabilities under Stellar’s bug bounty program.
  • Documents scope boundaries: published stellar/stellar-cli Docker images are in scope; CI/build tooling is out of scope unless genuinely untrusted input can affect published artifacts or secrets.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
