+# Vulnerability Management
+
+## Reporting Vulnerabilities
+
+As mentioned in the [security
+policy](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/tree/main/SECURITY.md), security
+vulnerabilities may be reported privately to the project via
+[GitHub](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/security/advisories/new).
+
+## Vulnerability Management Team
+
+Once a vulnerability has been reported to the project, the Vulnerability
+Management Team (VMT) is responsible for managing the vulnerability. The VMT is
+responsible for:
+
+- Triaging the vulnerability.
+- Coordinating with reporters and project maintainers on vulnerability analysis
+  and resolution.
+- Drafting of security advisories for confirmed vulnerabilities, as appropriate.
+- Coordination with project maintainers on a coordinated release of the fix and
+  security advisory.
+
+### Security Advisories
+
+Advisories are published via GitHub through the same system used to report
+vulnerabilities. More information on the process can be found in the [GitHub
+documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/security-advisories/working-with-repository-security-advisories/about-repository-security-advisories).
+
+### Team Members
+
+We prefer to keep all vulnerability-related communication on the security report
+on GitHub. However, if you need to contact the VMT directly for an urgent issue,
+you may contact the following individuals:
+
+- Simon Mo - <simon.mo@hey.com>
+- Russell Bryant - <rbryant@redhat.com>
+- Huzaifa Sidhpurwala - <huzaifas@redhat.com>
+
+## Slack Discussion
+
+You may use the `#security` channel in the [vLLM Slack](https://slack.vllm.ai)
+to discuss security-related topics. However, please do not disclose any
+vulnerabilities in this channel. If you need to report a vulnerability, please
+use the GitHub security advisory system or contact a VMT member privately.
+
+## Vulnerability Disclosure
+
+The process for disclosing vulnerabilities is the following:
+
+- The VMT will work with the project maintainers to develop a fix for the
+  vulnerability.
+- The VMT will coordinate with the reporter and project maintainers to prepare a
+  security advisory that adequately describes the vulnerability and its impact.
+- The VMT will coordinate with the project maintainers to publish a fix and
+  release an update that includes that fix.
+- The VMT will publish the security advisory on GitHub. Release notes will be
+  updated to include a reference to the security advisory.
+
+The VMT and project maintainers will work to minimize the amount of time in
+between disclosing any public information about the vulnerability and making a
+release and advisory available.
