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, supported versions, safe-harbour terms, testing authorization requirements, and advisory publication details.

Poem

A rabbit read the policy bright,
With reporting links in sight.
Safe testing rules stand clear,
Supported versions persevere.
Security guidance hops here.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b8470

Merging this file before the security statement is live would publish a policy whose only supporting link returns 404, leaving scope, safe-harbour, and CVE-handling guidance inaccessible. The PR is not merge-ready until that page is published or the dependency is explicitly accepted.

🌐 Web query:

pgEdge pgedge-docs issue 138 security page disclosure statement

💡 Result:

There is no publicly documented issue or public-facing "security page disclosure statement" specifically associated with "issue 138" in the pgEdge documentation repository (pgEdge/pgedge-docs) [1]. While GitHub repositories often track issues numerically, search results for "issue 138" in pgEdge-related repositories point to unrelated technical tasks, such as a pull request involving a ping handler in the pgedge-postgres-mcp repository [2] or code-level validation requirements in other internal modules [3]. pgEdge maintains official documentation on security best practices, which can be found at their official documentation site (docs.pgedge.com) [4]. These resources cover topics such as: - Security checklists and guides for specific components like the pgEdge Postgres MCP server [5][6]. - Security configurations for Kubernetes deployments [7]. - General security management, including connection security, configuration management, and incident response [8][9]. - Information regarding pgEdge's security certifications (such as SOC 2 Type II) and their policy on providing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) [10]. If you are looking for information regarding a specific vulnerability or security disclosure, pgEdge's general policy regarding customer data and privacy is outlined in their official Privacy Policy [11]. For verified security information, it is recommended to refer to the official pgEdge documentation site or contact their support team directly [12][10].

Keep this PR in draft until the disclosure statement is available.

https://docs.pgedge.com/security returns HTTP 404, and pgEdge/pgedge-docs#138 remains open. Merge only after the page publishes the required policy content.

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.
