             Summary: Improve vulnerability reporting
                 Key: IMAGING-354
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-354
             Project: Commons Imaging
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Marcono1234


Hello,
on May 1st I wrote to security@commons.apache.org and got the response:
{quote}
That team will be in contact with you directly once they have completed their investigation or if they have further questions for you. Note that as we often receive a lot of incoming reports, issues are generally dealt with in severity order so please be patient.
{quote}

Because I hadn't received any response so far, but there was activity in the commons-imaging repository, I then responded to that mail on June 4th. So far I still haven't received any response per mail. I think / hope I was reasonably patient so far, but it would have been nice to have some communication, for example confirming the issue, asking if a fix would solve the issue, respectively discussing the fix...
Maybe there was an issue with e-mail communication, but because I received the initial confirmation that my mail was received, I assumed there was no issue with e-mail communication.

I am not planning to disclose the issue, neither here nor somewhere else any time soon, and I am not asking for an immediate fix. It would just be nice to have communication, see also my previous mail.

As mentioned in my mail, maybe [GitHub private vulnerability reporting|https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/repository-security-advisories/configuring-private-vulnerability-reporting-for-a-repository] would be good additional way to support vulnerability reporting, which would also be more transparent than using mails.
