Security Policy

This document outlines security procedures and general policies for the Open OnDemand project.

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you have security concerns or think you have found a vulnerability in Open OnDemand, please submit a private report by visiting the 'Security' section of our GitHub located at github.com/OSC/ondemand/security/ and clicking 'Report a vulnerability'.

If you have questions about Open OnDemand's security, or have issues submitting a report please contact us directly via [email protected]. Emails sent there are only seen by the core project team.

Disclosure Policy

Reporters should get a response from the core team within hours of reporting that acknowledging the disclosure.

When the team receives a security vulnerability, they will generally assign it to a primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process, involving the following steps:

  • Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions (1-2 days).
  • Audit code to find any potential similar problems (1-2 days).
  • Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be released as fast as possible (2-7 days).

Comments on this Policy

If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved please submit a ticket, open a Discourse topic or open a pull request.

Security Audits

The Open OnDemand core development team has had several engagements with Trusted CI, the NSF Cybersecurity Center of Excellence. The first engagement was in 2018, during which Trusted CI conducted an in-depth vulnerability assessment and identified a few implementation issues that the Open OnDemand developers subsequently addressed. A report of that 2018 engagement is available here. The next engagement was in early 2021 and had three objectives: (1) integrate security automation into DevOps flows; (2) transfer skills for vulnerability assessments; and (3) develop needed security policies, practices, and procedures. A report of that 2021 engagement is available here.
