Reporting a Vulnerability

We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a security issue, please follow these guidelines:

How to Report

DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.

Instead, please report security issues by emailing devcentralteam (at) f5 dot com with the following information:

  • Description: A clear description of the vulnerability
  • Impact: The potential impact and severity
  • Steps to Reproduce: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
  • Suggested Fix: If you have recommendations (optional)
  • Your Contact Information: So we can follow up with questions

What to Expect

After you submit a report, here's what happens:

  1. Acknowledgment: We'll acknowledge receipt as soon as possible
  2. Initial Assessment: We'll provide an initial assessment and respond back
  3. Updates: We'll keep you informed as we investigate and develop a fix
  4. Resolution: We aim to release updates according to severity

Disclosure Policy

We practice coordinated disclosure:

  • We'll work with you to understand and validate the issue
  • We'll develop and test a fix
  • We'll notify affected users appropriately
  • We'll publicly disclose the vulnerability after a fix is available and users have had time to update (typically 30-90 days)
  • We'll credit you in our security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)

Security Best Practices
