gitlab-org--gitlab-foss/.gitlab/issue_templates/Security developer workflow.md

Prior to the security release

• Read the security process for developers if you are not familiar with it.
• Link to the original issue adding it to the links section
• Run scripts/security-harness in the CE, EE, and/or Omnibus to prevent pushing to any remote besides dev.gitlab.org
• Create an MR targetting org master, prefixing your branch with security-
• Label your MR with the ~security label, prefix the title with WIP: [master]
• Add a link to the MR to the links section
• Add a link to an EE MR if required
• Make sure the MR remains in-progress and gets approved after the review cycle, but never merged.
• Add a link to this issue on the original security issue.

Backports

• Once the MR is ready to be merged, create MRs targetting the last 3 releases
  • 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 the branch security-X-Y from X-Y-stable if it doesn't exist (and make sure it's up to date with stable)
  • Create each MR targetting the security branch security-X-Y
  • Add the ~security label and prefix with the version WIP: [X.Y] the title of the MR
• Add the ~"Merge into Security" label to all of the MRs.
• Make sure all MRs have a link in the links section

Documentation and final details

• Check the topic on #security to see when the next release is going to happen and add a link to the links section
• Find out the versions affected (the Git history of the files affected may help you with this) and add them to the details section
• Fill in any upgrade notes that users may need to take into account in the details section
• Add Yes/No and further details if needed to the migration and settings columns in the details section
• Add the nickname of the external user who found the issue (and/or HackerOne profile) to the Thanks row in the details section
• Once your master MR is merged, comment on the original security issue with a link to that MR indicating the issue is fixed.
