Create guidance on triaging build time dependency vulnerabilities #855
Closed
Description
Description: Vulnerability scanners detect CVEs in build time dependencies. But, Best practices to triage these vulnerabilities are unclear
Impact: Adding docs based on experiences and anecdotes, that many projects can follow would be useful
Scope: Write best practices with examples like:
- Focus on highest severity CVEs first
- Document if not exploitable as a security advisory or github issue
- Patch when exploitable and fixed by upstream dependency
- Define roles and responsibilities
