Toward a More Secure OCaml Ecosystem
summary
OCaml Software Foundation launches an OCaml Security Team that coordinates response to high‑impact vulnerabilities, maintains an advisory DB in OSV-format advisories, and accepts reports via private GitHub issues or the security website. The team is building SBOM support and a SBOM and Package URL mapping prototype to link deployments to vulnerable transitive C/Rust deps, plans secure‑library and maintainer guidelines, will publish quarterly progress reports, has dedicated budget, and asks companies and researchers to contribute fixes, tooling, or integration work.
