QEMU updates security disclosure and embargo policy
Start here
The QEMU security process requires reporting security issues via a GitLab issue marked confidential, and states that disclosure will ultimately be public. The policy page says that, as AI/LLM agents are widely used in security auditing, vulnerabilities found by automated tools are likely to be quickly and independently rediscovered, so maintainers generally reject arbitrary embargo requests, with special cases considered separately; if a patch cannot be provided within a reasonable time, maintainers may disclose the issue without a patch. The page does not indicate the date of policy revision.
