+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+To report a security vulnerability in Ghidra, please use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting:
+
+**[Report a vulnerability](https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/ghidra/security/advisories/new)**
+
+This ensures the report is only visible to repository maintainers and allows coordinated disclosure. 
+Please do not open public issues for security vulnerabilities.
+
+Please include the following in the report:
+* A brief summary of the vulnerability
+* A detailed description of the vulnerability, including the affected file(s) and line numbers
+* A Proof of Concept (POC) or steps for how to reproduce
+* A suggested fix, if applicable
+* The impact of the vulnerability, and who is affected
+
+## Triage Phase
+The Ghidra Team will independently triage the security concern based on information in the
+private security advisory. A member of the Ghidra Team may respond to request more information, or
+to ask general questions. This interaction will remain in the private comments of the security
+advisory and will not be published.
+
+## Draft Phase
+If/when the Ghidra Team patches the vulnerability in the repo, the security advisory will move to 
+the "Draft" state. The Ghidra Team will update the security advisory with the proper 
+"Affected versions" and "Patch versions", and will make sure the CVSS scoring, Credits, and other 
+metadata is correct.
+
+Whenever possible, the author's original security advisory will be published as-is. However, the
+Ghidra Team reserves the right to make edits to improve formatting, remove inaccuracies, or add
+additional information. Additionally, Proof of Concept sections may be moved to the private 
+comments by the Ghidra Team if they feel it is appropriate to do so.
+
+## Publication
+Sometime following the official release of Ghidra that includes the patch, the security advisory
+will move to the "Published" state. The timeframe will be based on how much time the Ghidra Team 
+feels is needed for the user base to migrate to the patched version.
+
+## CVE Information
+The Ghidra Team is **currently not authorized** to generate CVEs from security advisories. It will 
+be the responsibility of the original reporter to generate a CVE and notify the Ghidra Team if 
+desired. The Ghidra Team may then link the CVE to the security advisory.
