Standard §26.1 requires every Spacecraft Software repository to state where a vulnerability report goes and what happens to it. This repository is subject to the rule it publishes.
This repository contains no executable code. It holds the Texinfo source of The Steelbore Standard, its generated GFM companion, a CSS theme, and CI scripts. Realistic reports are therefore:
- A normative defect with a security consequence — a clause that mandates, permits, or fails to forbid something unsafe. §9.1 was exactly this: §9 was scoped to applications, so nothing forbade the published HTML from disclosing every reader's IP to a third-party CDN. A rule that is wrong propagates to every project that follows it, which makes this the highest-value report here.
- A supply-chain problem in the build or CI —
makeinfo,texi2any,pandoc, or a workflow action. - A disclosure problem in the document — a private hostname, an internal path, or a credential committed by mistake.
A vulnerability in a project governed by the Standard belongs to that project's own repository.
Email Mohamed.Hammad [at] SpacecraftSoftware.org. Do not open a public issue
for anything that should not be public.
For a normative defect, please say which section, what it currently permits or requires, and the consequence — that is usually faster to act on than a patch.

| Assessment | within 30 days |
| Supported versions | the current published version only; the Standard is not branched |
| Disclosure | coordinated; a corrective version lands before any public description |
| Credit | offered by default, declined on request |
A normative fix ships as a version bump with a CHANGELOG.md entry stating what
changed and why, in both this repository and the skill encoding.
This is a personal hobby project (§5.1). There is no SLA, and the targets above are intentions rather than commitments.
