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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds SECURITY.md. The policy defines vulnerability reporting, response timelines, supported-version coverage, safe-harbour terms, testing authorization, disclosure guidance, and advisory publication.

Poem

A rabbit checks the burrow door,
Keeps watch on every byte and more.
Report a flaw, and guards reply,
With careful paws and timelines nigh.
Safe tests, clear notes, advisories bright—
The code sleeps soundly through the night.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5e2b9

The added SECURITY.md directs reporters to a disclosure statement URL that currently returns 404, leaving key security terms unavailable. The PR should wait until the statement is published or the link is made valid; until then it is not merge-ready.

What is in scope, our safe harbour terms, and how we handle coordinated

Disclosure Statement:

You may test this software freely in an environment you control. Testing

Publish the linked disclosure statement before merging.

The policy delegates scope, safe harbour, coordinated disclosure, CVE handling, and cloud-testing authorization to https://docs.pgedge.com/security. The PR objectives state that this URL currently returns 404. Until the statement is available, reporters cannot access these terms. Keep this PR blocked until the statement is published, or include the required terms in SECURITY.md.

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.
