This repository distributes documentation: security policy templates, compliance
framework mappings, and a Bash customization script (scripts/customize.sh). It
has no runtime application and no software dependencies, so most traditional
vulnerability classes (e.g. dependency CVEs) don't apply. The relevant attack
surface is:
scripts/customize.sh— a shell script users run locally, and the.github/workflows/ci.ymlGitHub Actions workflows that run it in CI- Any injected or malicious content in a pull request (e.g. a template edit
that introduces a shell-injection vector into
customize.sh, or a supply-chain issue in a GitHub Actions workflow change)
Incorrect or outdated compliance/framework citations (e.g. a wrong NIST CSF or ISO 27001 control reference) are content accuracy issues, not security vulnerabilities — please report those as a regular GitHub issue rather than through this policy.
If you find a security issue in scripts/customize.sh, a GitHub Actions
workflow, or anything else in this repository that could lead to code
execution, secret exposure, or a supply-chain compromise, please report it
privately rather than opening a public issue:
- Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting for this repository ("Security" tab → "Report a vulnerability"), or
- If that's unavailable, open a regular issue asking a maintainer to enable private reporting or provide an alternate contact, without including exploit details in the public issue body.
Please include:
- A description of the issue and its potential impact
- Steps to reproduce (a minimal
customize.shinvocation or workflow diff is ideal) - Any suggested remediation, if you have one
This is a community-maintained repository. There is no guaranteed SLA, but reports are reviewed as they arrive and valid fixes are prioritized ahead of routine content contributions. You'll receive an acknowledgement once your report has been triaged.
