As an open-source project, we understand the importance of and responsibility for security. This Security policy outlines our guidelines and procedures for ensuring the highest level of Security and trust for our users who consume the oneAPI Construction Kit.

We will perform patch releases for the supported latest version or create new releases which contain fixes for security vulnerabilities and important bugs.

We are very grateful to the security researchers and users that report back security vulnerabilities. We investigate every report thoroughly. We strongly encourage you to report security vulnerabilities to us privately, before disclosing them on public forums or opening a public GitHub issue. To report a vulnerability to us:

• Send an e-mail to the following address: [email protected].

Along with the report, please include the following info:

• A descriptive title.
• Your name and affiliation (if any).
• A description of the technical details of the vulnerabilities.
• A minimal example of the vulnerability so we can reproduce your findings.
• An explanation of who can exploit this vulnerability, and what they gain when doing so.
• Whether this vulnerability is public or known to third parties. If it is, please provide details.

• You think you discovered a potential security vulnerability in oneAPI Construction Kit.
• You are unsure how the potential vulnerability affects oneAPI Construction Kit.
• You think you discovered a vulnerability in another project or 3rd party component on which oneAPI Construction Kit depends. If the issue is not fixed in the 3rd party component, try to report directly there first.

• You got an automated scan hit and are unable to provide details.
• You need help using oneAPI Construction Kit for security.
• You need help applying security-related updates.
• Your issue is not security-related.

Our goal is to respond quickly to your inquiry, and to coordinate a fix and disclosure with you. All confirmed security vulnerabilities will be addressed according to severity level and impact on the oneAPI Construction Kit. Normally, security issues are fixed in the next planned release.

We will publish security advisories using the GitHub Security Advisories feature to keep our community well-informed, and will credit you for your findings unless you prefer to stay anonymous. We request that you refrain from exploiting the vulnerability or making it public before the official disclosure.

We will disclose the vulnerabilities and/or bugs as soon as possible once mitigation is implemented and available.

If you have any suggestions on how this Policy could be improved, please submit an issue or a pull request to this repository. Please do not report potential vulnerabilities or security flaws via a pull request.
