Securtity reports

Receiving Security updates

The best way to receive any and all security announcements is to subscribe to the Play security list.

The mailing list is very low traffic, and receives notifications only after Security reports have been managed by the core team and fixes are publicly available.

What if I find a security problem with Play Framework?

We strongly encourage folks to report such problems to our private security mailing list first, before disclosing them in a public forum.

All security bugs in Play should be reported by email to security@playframework.org. This list is delivered to a subset of the core team who handle security issues.

Licence

The Play Framework source code is released under the Apache 2 licence.
