# Security Policy

## Supported Versions

The Jaeger project provides community support only for last minor version: bug fixes are released either as part of the next minor version or as an on-demand patch version. Independent of which version is next, all patch versions are cumulative, meaning that they represent the state of our `main` branch at the moment of the release. For instance, if the latest version is 1.19.0, bug fixes are released either as part of 1.20.0 or 1.19.1.

Security fixes are given priority and might be enough to cause a new version to be released.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

_The following is a copy of the [Report a security issue](https://www.jaegertracing.io/report-security-issue/) page from our website. The website's version has precedence in case of conflicts._

If you find something suspicious and want to report it, we'd really appreciate!

## Ways to report

The easiest way to report a vulnerability is through the [Security tab on GitHub](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/security/advisories). This mechanism allows maintainers to communicate privately with you, and you do not need to encrypt your messages.

Alternatively, you can use one of the following public channels to send an **encrypted** message to maintainers:

* Chat room on the [#jaeger channel at the CNCF Slack][slack-room]
* Send a message to [jaeger-tracing@googlegroups.com][mailing-list]
* [Open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/issues)

You can also submit a fix to the issue by forking the affected repository and sending us a pull request. However, we prefer you'd talk to us first, as our repositories are public and we would like to give a heads-up to our users before disclosing vulnerabilities publicly.

## Our PGP key

If you choose a public channel to communicate with us, please **encrypt your message** using [our public key](#our-public-key) `ID=C043A4D2B3F2AC31`. It is available in all major key servers and should match the one shown below.

If you are new to PGP, you can run the following command to encrypt a file called "message.txt":

```shell
# Receive our keys from a key server:
gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C043A4D2B3F2AC31

# Alternatively, copy the key below to file C043A4D2B3F2AC31.asc and import it:
gpg --import C043A4D2B3F2AC31.asc

# Encrypt a "message.txt" file into "message.txt.asc":
gpg -ea -r C043A4D2B3F2AC31 message.txt

# Send us the resulting "message.txt.asc"
```
