Security Research

This project hosts security advisories and their accompanying proof-of-concepts related to research conducted at Google which impact non-Google owned code.

We believe that vulnerability disclosure is a two-way street. Vendors, as well as researchers, must act responsibly. This is why Google adheres to a 90-day disclosure deadline. We notify vendors of vulnerabilities immediately, with details shared in public with the defensive community after 90 days, or sooner if the vendor releases a fix.

You can read up on our full policy at: https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/.

Advisories

The disclosure of vulnerabilities are all in the form of security advisories, which can be browsed in the Security Advisories page.

Proof of Concepts

Accompanying proof-of-concept code will be used to demonstrate the security vulnerabilities.
