| 3 | +Report issues via email at: Jochen Wiedmann. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +This is the Security Policy for the Perl DBD::CSV distribution. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +The latest version of the Security Policy can be found in the |
| 9 | +[git repository for DBD::CSV](https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-CSV). |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +This text is based on the CPAN Security Group's Guidelines for Adding |
| 12 | +a Security Policy to Perl Distributions (version 1.0.0) |

| 15 | +# How to Report a Security Vulnerability |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Security vulnerabilities can be reported by e-mail to the current |
| 18 | +project maintainers at Jochen Wiedmann. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Please include as many details as possible, including code samples |
| 21 | +or test cases, so that we can reproduce the issue. Check that your |
| 22 | +report does not expose any sensitive data, such as passwords, |
| 23 | +tokens, or personal information. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +If you would like any help with triaging the issue, or if the issue |
| 26 | +is being actively exploited, please copy the report to the CPAN |
| 27 | +Security Group (CPANSec) at <[email protected]>. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Please *do not* use the public issue reporting system on RT or |
| 30 | +GitHub issues for reporting security vulnerabilities. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Please do not disclose the security vulnerability in public forums |
| 33 | +until past any proposed date for public disclosure, or it has been |
| 34 | +made public by the maintainers or CPANSec. That includes patches or |
| 35 | +pull requests. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +For more information, see |
| 38 | +[Report a Security Issue](https://security.metacpan.org/docs/report.html) |
| 39 | +on the CPANSec website. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Response to Reports |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +The maintainer(s) aim to acknowledge your security report as soon as |
| 44 | +possible. However, this project is maintained by a single person in |
| 45 | +their spare time, and they cannot guarantee a rapid response. If you |
| 46 | +have not received a response from them within 10 days, then |
| 47 | +please send a reminder to them and copy the report to CPANSec at |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Please note that the initial response to your report will be an |
| 51 | +acknowledgement, with a possible query for more information. It |
| 52 | +will not necessarily include any fixes for the issue. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The project maintainer(s) may forward this issue to the security |
| 55 | +contacts for other projects where we believe it is relevant. This |
| 56 | +may include embedded libraries, system libraries, prerequisite |
| 57 | +modules or downstream software that uses this software. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +They may also forward this issue to CPANSec. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +# Which Software This Policy Applies To |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Any security vulnerabilities in DBD::CSV are covered by this policy. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Security vulnerabilities are considered anything that allows users |
| 66 | +to execute unauthorised code, access unauthorised resources, or to |
| 67 | +have an adverse impact on accessibility or performance of a system. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Security vulnerabilities in upstream software (embedded libraries, |
| 70 | +prerequisite modules or system libraries, or in Perl), are not |
| 71 | +covered by this policy unless they affect DBD::CSV, or DBD::CSV can |
| 72 | +be used to exploit vulnerabilities in them. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Security vulnerabilities in downstream software (any software that |
| 75 | +uses DBD::CSV, or plugins to it that are not included with the |
| 76 | +DBD::CSV distribution) are not covered by this policy. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## Supported Versions of DBD::CSV |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +The maintainer(s) will only commit to releasing security fixes for |
| 81 | +the latest version of DBD::CSV. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Note that the DBD::CSV project only supports major versions of Perl |
| 84 | +released in the past 5 years, even though DBD::CSV will run on |
| 85 | +older versions of Perl. If a security fix requires us to increase |
| 86 | +the minimum version of Perl that is supported, then we may do so. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +# Installation and Usage Issues |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +The distribution metadata specifies minimum versions of |
| 91 | +prerequisites that are required for DBD::CSV to work. However, some |
| 92 | +of these prerequisites may have security vulnerabilities, and you |
| 93 | +should ensure that you are using up-to-date versions of these |
| 94 | +prerequisites. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +Where security vulnerabilities are known, the metadata may indicate |
| 97 | +newer versions as recommended. |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +## Usage |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Please see the software documentation for further information. |
