## Reporting Security Issues
Report security issues to [security@silverstripe.com](mailto:security@silverstripe.com). Please don't file security
issues in our [bugtracker](http://open.silverstripe.org). In the event of a confirmed vulnerability in SilverStripe
core, we will take the following actions:
* Acknowledge to the reporter that we’ve received the report and that a fix is forthcoming. We’ll give a rough
timeline and ask the reporter to keep the issue confidential until we announce it.
* Halt all other development as long as is needed to develop a fix, including patches against the current and one
previous major release (if applicable).
* We will inform you about resolution and [announce](http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-announce) a [new
release](http://silverstripe.org/security-releases/) publically.
You can help us determine the problem and speed up responses by providing us with more information on how to reproduce
the issue: SilverStripe version (incl. any installed modules), PHP/webserver version and configuration, anonymized
webserver access logs (if a hack is suspected), any other services and web packages running on the same server.
Report security issues to [security@silverstripe.com](mailto:security@silverstripe.com). See our "[Release Process](release-process)" documentation for more info, and read our guide on [how to write secure code](/topics/security).

of a certain API. Existing APIs might turn out to be hard to understand, maintain, test or stabilize.

### Severity rating
Each [security release](http://www.silverstripe.org/security-releases/) includes an overall severity rating and one for each vulnerability. The rating indicates how important an update is:
| Severity | Description |
|---------------|-------------|
| **Critical** | Critical releases require immediate actions. Such vulnerabilities allow attackers to take control of your site and you should upgrade on the day of release. *Example: Directory traversal, privilege escalation* |
| **Important** | Important releases should be evaluated immediately. These issues allow an attacker to compromise a site's data and should be fixed within days. *Example: SQL injection.* |
| **Moderate** | Releases of moderate severity should be applied as soon as possible. They allow the unauthorized editing or creation of content. *Examples: Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in template helpers.* |
| **Low** | Low risk releases fix information disclosure and read-only privilege escalation vulnerabilities. These updates should also be applied as soon as possible, but with an impact-dependent priority. *Example: Exposure of the core version number, Cross Site Scripting (XSS) limited to the admin interface.* |
