### CVE publication timeline

When security releases are published, there is a built-in delay before the
corresponding CVEs are publicly disclosed. This delay occurs because:

1. After the security release, we request the vulnerability reporter to disclose
the details on HackerOne.
2. If the reporter does not disclose within one day, we proceed with forced
disclosure to publish the CVEs.
3. The disclosure then goes through HackerOne's approval process before the CVEs
become publicly available.

As a result, CVEs may not be immediately available when security releases are
published, but will typically be disclosed within a few days of the release.
