What this means for you — Security leader:Pause any submissions to Google's OSS VRP until it reopens; continue using internal scanning, dependency analysis, and private disclosure channels for Go, Angular, Protocol Buffers and other covered projects.
What this means for you — Lean IT orgs:If you use Google's open-source projects such as Go, Angular or Protocol Buffers, keep applying their official security updates; you do not need to hunt for bounty-eligible bugs yourself.
What this means for you — MSP:Advise clients using Google OSS (Go, Angular, Protocol Buffers, etc.) to rely on official releases and dependency tools for updates; note that Google's public bug bounty for these components is paused until further notice.
What this means for you — Researcher:Google is no longer accepting or rewarding new product vulnerability reports for its open-source software via the VRP; supply-chain compromise reports remain eligible.
