# 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

* It is preferable to always encrypt your message, no matter the channel you choose to report the issue
* Contact us on our open chat room on [Slack][slack-room]
* If you can't use Slack, send a message to [jaeger-tracing@googlegroups.com][mailing-list]
* If you can't use Slack nor send an email, open a merge request on GitHub: fork the affected repository and send us a pull request. We really prefer if you'd talk to us before, though, as our repositories are public and we would like to give a heads up to our users before disclosing it publicly

### Our PGP key

No matter what channel you choose to communicate with us, we would prefer you to encrypt your message using our [published key][published-key], available in all major key servers and which 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":

1. Receive our keys from the key server:

    `gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys C043A4D2B3F2AC31`

1. Encrypt a "message.txt" file into "message.txt.asc":

    `gpg -ea -r C043A4D2B3F2AC31 message.txt`

1. Send us the resulting "message.txt.asc"

**Our published key should match this one:**
