Security Policy for DIGIT

Reporting a Vulnerability

If you discover a security vulnerability in the DIGIT LTS (Long-Term Support tag) core services, please do not create a public GitHub issue or discussion.

Instead, follow one of the two private channels:

  1. GitHub's Private Advisory Form
    Use the "Report a Vulnerability" button under the Security tab of this repository to privately disclose the issue.
    Click here to file a private security advisory

  2. Email
    Contact our team directly at: [email protected]


What to Include

When reporting a vulnerability, please provide:

  • Description of the vulnerability and its impact
  • Steps to reproduce the issue
  • Affected versions of DIGIT Core (if known)
  • Logs or error traces, if available

Please ensure the vulnerability lies within the DIGIT LTS Core services only. Issues in domain services (e.g. Urban, Health) or modified forks are not covered under LTS support.


Scope of Supported Services

Security reporting and support applies only to DIGIT LTS Core services. You can find the list of supported core services here:
🔗 https://core.digit.org/platform/core-services

Services modified by users or issues stemming from unsupported domains (e.g., custom UI frameworks or non-core APIs) may not be eligible for official resolution but can still be discussed with the community.


Responsible Disclosure

We follow responsible disclosure principles. We commit to:

  • Acknowledge your report in the defined SLA
  • Keep the report confidential until a fix is released
  • Credit the reporter (with consent) upon fix and disclosure

Platform Security Guidelines

Please refer to DIGIT's platform security practices and user guidelines:
🔗 https://core.digit.org/guides/security-and-privacy-guide

We encourage all users and partners to follow these recommendations and maintain secure deployments, including applying timely updates.


Thank you for helping us make DIGIT more secure and reliable!
