Support query

Hi Support Team

I would like to get confirmation on how the WinSCP application is updated?

• is it community driven updates?
  
• is there a security vetting process to ensure vulnerabilities/backdoors are not introduced?
  
• If a security related issue has been identified which is deemed a critical risk, what are the timescales (estimated) for resolving these type of issues?
  

Critical issues are typically addressed within several days.

Hi Martin,
My colleague and I logged this call twice as we could not see Sid's original post, hence I created an account and logged a second post.

Your response below only answers our third query, we still require response on queries 1 and 2.
Our questions:
Can you confirm how the WinSCP application is updated?

1. Is it community driven updates?
   
2. Is there a security vetting process to ensure vulnerabilities/backdoors are not introduced?
   
3. If a security related issue has been identified which is deemed a critical risk, what are the timescales (estimated) for resolving these type of issues? (Martin response: 'Critical issues are typically addressed within several days.')
   

We do not have any formal procedure, if that's what you ask for.
We are doing the best we can.
