Summary

The author was faced with a security issue in their open source project, SpiceDB, which involved a bug that had real-world consequences. The team created a GitHub Security Advisory to remediate the issue, which included creating a private fork of the repository, developing a fix, testing it, and publishing a CVE identifier. They also deployed the fix to production before publishing the advisory publicly. The process was smooth, despite some minor bumps, thanks to GitHub's Security Advisory system, which provided a formalized security vulnerability process for the project.
