## Issue Severity

Galaxy takes a very conservative stance on issue severity as individual Galaxies often install tools and make customizations that might increase their risk in the face of otherwise less-serious vulnerabilities. As a result, issues that would be considered less-severe issues in other projects are treated as higher risk here.
Galaxy takes a very conservative stance on issue severity as individual Galaxy instances often install tools and make customizations that might increase their risk in the face of otherwise less-serious vulnerabilities. As a result, issues that would be considered less-severe in other projects are treated as higher risk here.

### Issue Classification

Severity | Examples
------------ | ---------
High | RCE, SQL Injection, Sensitive Data Exposure, XSS, CSRF, and *any issue allowing user impersonation*.
High | Remote code execution (RCE), SQL Injection, Sensitive Data Exposure, Cross-site scripting (XSS), Cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and *any issue allowing user impersonation*.
Medium / Low | Unvalidated redirects/forwards, Issues due to uncommon configuration options.

These are only examples. The security team will provide a severity classification based on its impact on the average Galaxy instance. However, Galaxy administrators should take it upon themselves to evaluate the impact for their instance(s).
