## Prior to starting the security release work

- [ ] Read the [security process for developers] if you are not familiar with it.
- [ ] Make sure the issue really needs to follow the security release workflow.
  - Verify if the issue you're working on `gitlab-org/gitlab` is confidential, if it's public fix should be placed on GitLab canonical and no backports are required.
  - If the issue you're fixing doesn't appear to be something that can be exploited by a malicious person and is instead simply a security enhancement do not hesitate to ping `@gitlab-com/gl-security/appsec` to discuss if the issue can be fixed in the canonical repository.
- [ ] **IMPORTANT**: Mark this [issue as linked] to the Security Release Tracking Issue. You can find it on the topic of the `#releases` Slack channel. This issue
MUST be linked for the release bot to know that the associated merge requests should be merged for this security release.
- Fill out the [Links section](#links):
  - [ ] Next to **Issue on GitLab**, add a link to the `gitlab-org/gitlab` issue that describes the security vulnerability.
- [ ] Add one of the `~severity::x` labels to the issue and all associated merge requests.

## Development

- [ ] Run `scripts/security-harness` in your local repository to prevent accidentally pushing to any remote besides `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security`.
- [ ] Create a new branch prefixing it with `security-`.
- [ ] Create a merge request targeting `master` on `gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security` and use the [Security Release merge request template].

After your merge request has been approved according to our [approval guidelines] and by a team member of the AppSec team, you're ready to prepare the backports

## Backports

- [ ] Once the MR is ready to be merged, create MRs targeting the latest 3 stable branches
   * The 3 stable branches correspond to the versions in the title of the Security Release Tracking Issue.
   * At this point, it might be easy to squash the commits from the MR into one
   * You can use the script `bin/secpick` instead of the following steps, to help you cherry-picking. See the [secpick documentation]
- [ ] Create each MR targeting the stable branch `X-Y-stable`, using the [Security Release merge request template].
   * Every merge request will have its own set of to-dos, so make sure to complete those.
- [ ] On the "Related merge requests" section, ensure that `4` merge requests are associated: The one targeting `master` and the `3` backports.
- [ ] If this issue requires less than `4` merge requests, post a message on the Security Release Tracking Issue and ping the Release Managers.

## Documentation and final details

- [ ] Ensure the [Links section](#links) is completed.
- [ ] Add the GitLab [versions](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/docs/-/blob/master/general/security/developer.md#versions-affected) and editions affected to the [details section](#details)
  * The Git history of the files affected may help you associate the issue with a [release](https://about.gitlab.com/releases/)
- [ ] Fill in any upgrade notes that users may need to take into account in the [details section](#details)
- [ ] Add Yes/No and further details if needed to the migration and settings columns in the [details section](#details)
- [ ] Add the nickname of the external user who found the issue (and/or HackerOne profile) to the Thanks row in the [details section](#details)
