# Security Policy for Argo CD
Version: **v1.0 (2020-02-26)**
Version: **v1.1 (2020-06-29)**
## Preface
@ -8,6 +8,27 @@ As a deployment tool, Argo CD needs to have production access which makes
security a very important topic. The Argoproj team takes security very
seriously and is continuously working on improving it.
## A word about security scanners
Many organisations these days employ security scanners to validate their
container images before letting them on their clusters, and that is a good
thing. However, the quality and results of these scanners vary greatly,
many of them produce false positives and require people to look at the
issues reported and validate them for correctness. A great example of that
is, that some scanners report kernel vulnerabilities for container images
just because they are derived from some distribution.
We kindly ask you to not raise issues or contact us regarding any issues
that are found by your security scanner. Many of those produce a lot of false
positives, and many of these issues don't affect Argo CD. We do have scanners
in place for our code, dependencies and container images that we publish. We
are well aware of the issues that may affect Argo CD and are constantly
working on the remediation of those that affect Argo CD and our users.
If you believe that we might have missed an issue that we should take a look
at (that can happen), then please discuss it with us. But please, do validate
that assumption before at least roughly.
## Supported Versions
