Security Advisory

Definition

A Security Advisory is an official announcement providing information about identified vulnerabilities in software or systems, along with corrective actions. This formal communication from a software developer, blockchain project team, or cybersecurity research organization alerts users and operators to discovered security flaws, bugs, or potential attack vectors within a digital system or protocol. The advisory typically includes details about the vulnerability, its potential impact, and recommended mitigation strategies, such as software updates, configuration changes, or temporary workarounds. Timely dissemination and adherence to security advisories are critical for maintaining the integrity and safety of digital assets and infrastructure.
