Poem

A rabbit found a policy neat,
With safe report steps, clear and sweet.
Versions marked, timelines bright,
Secrets tucked away from public sight.
“Hop, hop!” the security guide is right!

Bound the fix and disclosure timelines.

“Release a patched version promptly” is not measurable, and confidentiality remains open-ended if confirmation is delayed. Define a target remediation/disclosure window and an explicit coordinated-disclosure fallback.

As per path instructions, this Markdown policy should provide clear and concise security-process explanations.
