Team Operations
The Vulnerability Management Team meets weekly to discuss ongoing security issues. These meetings are private and closed to the community as a whole until the embargo is lifted on a particular security issue. For ongoing security hardening and feature development, these discussions and specifications are completed in the open. Technical discussions beyond the specifications and reviews will be held on the community call held every Wednesday.
Vulnerability Management Process
The Staring X Vulnerability Management team is the first point of contact for Starling X security issues. They are responsible for the vulnerability handling and disclosure process.

Banned C-Function Policy
The Starling X Vulnerability Management team is recommending limiting the use of certain c functions given that they are prone to introducing security issues. The page below outlines the current policy:

How to report security issues to Starling X
If you think you’ve identified a vulnerability, please work with us to rectify and disclose the issue responsibly. By default, Starling X considers all issues private until they have been triaged by the Starling X Vulnerability Management Team. We provide two ways to report issues to the Starling X VMT depending on how sensitive the issue is:

- “Launchpad Web Page” get back with “Report a bug --> Summary:” text field. Please describe the bug in a few words...
- Click “Next” button.
- “Launchpad Web Page” should come back with “Further information:” text field.
- Please take a look if similar bugs were identified by “Launchpad Web Page” to avoid duplicate bugs.
- Please go to Starlingx bug reporting guidelines and use the template suggested.
- Go to the bottom of the page and select “ √ This bug is a security vulnerability” checkbox.
- Click under “Extra Options” arrow.
- Add “stx.security” TAG.
