Software often contains third party or open source libraries and binaries. Prior to submitting a request to validate how a security issue in third party components may impact Solid, please review the section on Handling Third Party CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures).


### Third Party CVE Handling
The Solid team updates 3rd party components within regularly scheduled release cycles, to the newest compatible version available during development. A vulnerability related to a 3rd party component does not necessarily translate to a vulnerability in Inrupt software. PSIRT welcomes questions about the applicability of a 3rd party CVE.

Risk is determined through internal scoring using CVSSv3.1 (https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/3.1).

To be clear, at loss of a better solution, are you recommended that the list of Security Advisories related to Solid will be currated manually as a list:

  • inside this present document; or;
  • in an external security-advisories.md?

I would probably have a slight preference for the latter.

Inrupt.com? Or solidproject.org? This document is starting to exhibit a split personality...
