Security.txt

Summary

When security vulnerabilities are discovered by researchers, proper reporting channels are often lacking. As a result, vulnerabilities may be left unreported. This document defines a format ("security.txt") to help organizations describe their vulnerability disclosure practices to make it easier for researchers to report vulnerabilities.

The Magento_Securitytxt module provides the following functionality:

• allows to save the security configurations in the admin panel
• contains a router to match application action class for requests to the .well-known/security.txt and .well-known/security.txt.sig files.
• serves the content of the .well-known/security.txt and .well-known/security.txt.sig files.

A valid security.txt file could look like the following example:
