Adds SECURITY.md to the repository root. It names security@pgedge.com as
the single reporting route and points at the pgEdge Vulnerability Disclosure
Statement for scope, safe harbour and CVE handling.

The file is identical in every pgEdge product repository — nothing in it is
repo-specific.

Why an in-repo copy when there is an org default

pgEdge/.github carries the same file as an organisation default, which covers
every repository that has none of its own. Defaults do not appear in a
repository's file tree, git history, clones or release archives — only in the
Security tab. A product a customer clones or vendors should carry its own
policy, and OpenSSF Scorecard's security-policy check only looks in the
repository itself.

Draft on purpose — merge order matters

The only link in this file is https://docs.pgedge.com/security, and that URL
returns 404 today. Merging before the statement is live publishes a
security policy whose one actionable link is dead.

Merge order:

  1. docs: add vulnerability disclosure statement pgedge-docs#138 — publishes docs.pgedge.com/security. Out of
    draft and awaiting review.
  2. docs: add org-wide SECURITY.md default .github#6 — the org-wide default.
  3. This PR, alongside the other product repositories.

No action needed from you until #138 merges. Reviews welcome now.

Points at security@pgedge.com as the single reporting route and at the
pgEdge Vulnerability Disclosure Statement for scope, safe harbour and CVE
handling. Identical across every pgEdge product repository.

Do not merge before pgEdge/pgedge-docs#138 publishes
docs.pgedge.com/security; until it does, the only link in this file 404s.

Poem

A rabbit found a safer trail,
With clear reports and guarded mail.
Five workdays mark the first reply,
While trusted tests go hopping by.
New advisories bloom in sight.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b09cd

The PR adds a repository security policy whose only actionable link currently returns 404, leaving important disclosure terms unavailable; merge should wait until the linked security statement is published.

Publish the disclosure statement before merging this policy.

The linked page returns HTTP 404. This leaves the scope, safe-harbour terms, coordinated-disclosure process, CVE handling, and Cloud testing authorization unavailable.

Closing unactioned. pgedge-docker carries the org custom property repo_type=deprecated, and a deprecated repository does not need to carry its own security policy.

It stays public, so it keeps a reporting route: the organisation-wide default in pgEdge/.github (PR #6) covers every repository without its own SECURITY.md, including this one. Nothing is lost by not having the file in the tree here.

Raised in error as part of the 2026-08-20 rollout, before I saw the repo_type classification.
