# Security Policy

How to report a security vulnerability in Obsrv

## Reporting a vulnerability

**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues, discussion threads, or the Discord channel.** A public report tells everyone about the weakness before there is a fix available.

Report vulnerabilities privately using GitHub's **"Report a vulnerability"** button, under the **Security** tab of the affected repository. This opens a private advisory visible only to you and the maintainers.

Include as much as you can:

* The component affected and the version or commit you tested against
* What an attacker could do with the issue
* Steps to reproduce it, including configuration or sample data where relevant
* Any logs, stack traces or proof-of-concept code

You do not need a working exploit to report something. If you think a behavior looks wrong, tell us.

## What happens next

We acknowledge your report within 3 working days. Within 10 working days we tell you whether we could reproduce it and give you our initial assessment. After that we keep you updated at least every 2 weeks until it is resolved.

Once a fix is ready we publish it as a release and note the issue in the release notes. We will credit you by name unless you ask us not to.

We ask that you give us a reasonable chance to fix the issue before describing it publicly.

## Supported versions

Security fixes are applied to the latest released version of each component. If you are running an older version, the fix will be to upgrade.

See the [release notes](/release-notes.md) for the current versions.

## Scope

This policy covers the Obsrv components published under the [Sunbird-Obsrv organization](https://github.com/orgs/Sunbird-Obsrv/repositories).

Obsrv is deployed into infrastructure that you operate. Vulnerabilities in the underlying components that Obsrv builds on, such as Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark, Druid and PostgreSQL, should go to those projects directly. If you are not sure which applies, report it to us and we will route it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://obsrv.sunbird.org/community/security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
