Adds SECURITY.md to the repository root. It names security@pgedge.com as
the single reporting route and points at the pgEdge Vulnerability Disclosure
Statement for scope, safe harbour and CVE handling.

The file is identical in every pgEdge product repository — nothing in it is
repo-specific.

Why an in-repo copy when there is an org default

pgEdge/.github carries the same file as an organisation default, which covers
every repository that has none of its own. Defaults do not appear in a
repository's file tree, git history, clones or release archives — only in the
Security tab. A product a customer clones or vendors should carry its own
policy, and OpenSSF Scorecard's security-policy check only looks in the
repository itself.

Draft on purpose — merge order matters

The only link in this file is https://docs.pgedge.com/security, and that URL
returns 404 today. Merging before the statement is live publishes a
security policy whose one actionable link is dead.

Merge order:

  1. docs: add vulnerability disclosure statement pgedge-docs#138 — publishes docs.pgedge.com/security. Out of
    draft and awaiting review.
  2. docs: add org-wide SECURITY.md default .github#6 — the org-wide default.
  3. This PR, alongside the other product repositories.

No action needed from you until #138 merges. Reviews welcome now.

Points at security@pgedge.com as the single reporting route and at the
pgEdge Vulnerability Disclosure Statement for scope, safe harbour and CVE
handling. Identical across every pgEdge product repository.

Do not merge before pgEdge/pgedge-docs#138 publishes
docs.pgedge.com/security; until it does, the only link in this file 404s.

Poem

I’m a rabbit guarding the gate,
Keeping secret reports private and safe.
Five days for a listening ear,
Clear testing rules make the path clear.
New fixes and advisories hop into place.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 421ed

SECURITY.md currently points to an unavailable disclosure statement, so merging now would publish security-reporting guidance with a dead actionable link. Merge should wait until the referenced documentation is live.

In `@SECURITY.md` around lines 24 - 31, Update the Vulnerability Disclosure
Statement reference in SECURITY.md so it points to a published, stable location
before merging; if the statement is not yet published, replace the broken
docs.pgedge.com/security URL with its actual available location.

The statement URL and the reporting address were bare text. Dave asked
for the URL to be a real link on pgedge-safesession#73: GitHub
autolinks it, but nothing guarantees another viewer will, and the two
actionable things in a security policy should not depend on a
renderer. The published statement at docs.pgedge.com/security already
writes the address as an explicit mailto link, so this keeps the two
documents consistent.
