Software supply chain management company Sonatype, is announcing a partnership with HackerOne, to create The Central Security Project. This first-of-its-kind program brings together the ethical hacker and open source communities to streamline the process for reporting and resolving vulnerabilities discovered in libraries housed in The Central Repository, the world's largest collection of open source components.

"When individual developers or ethical hackers try and report a new vulnerability to an open source project they often wait for months to get a response, with no guarantee they'll ever actually receive one," says Brian Fox, co-founder and CTO of Sonatype.

Sonatype has added 'Report a vulnerability' links to every project page within the Central Repository and OSS Index. These links will connect individual developers and ethical hackers to the HackerOne platform where they can easily report potential exploits.
