Description

A Security Policy is a GitHub standard document (SECURITY.md) that can be seen in the “Security Tab” to instruct users about how to report vulnerability in the safest and most efficient way possible.

It is a Scorecard Recommendation (being one check of medium priority) and a Github Recommendation.

Together with this issue I’ll submit one suggestion of Security Policy, feel free to edit it directly or ask me for editions until it is in compliance with how JNA would best handle with vulnerabilities reports.

Research direction

Start by reviewing GitHub’s SECURITY.md guidance and the OSSF Scorecard security-policy recommendation, then check how JNA currently handles vulnerability reports. Add a SECURITY.md that explains the safest reporting process for JNA, using the proposed policy from the issue if available, and confirm it appears in the repository’s Security tab.
