+<!--
+THIS ISSUE TEMPLATE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE.
+
+If the bug you are reporting is potentially security-related - for example,
+if it involves an assertion failure or other crash in `named` that can be
+triggered repeatedly - then please do *NOT* report it here, but send an
+email to [security-officer@isc.org](security-officer@isc.org).
+-->
+
+### CVE-specific actions
+
+  - [ ] Assign a CVE identifier
+  - [ ] Determine CVSS score
+  - [ ] Determine the range of BIND versions affected (including the Subscription Edition)
+  - [ ] Determine whether workarounds for the problem exists
+  - [ ] Prepare a detailed description of the problem which should include the following by default:
+      - instructions for reproducing the problem (a system test is good enough)
+      - explanation of code flow which triggers the problem (a system test is *not* good enough)
+  - [ ] Prepare a private merge request containing the following items in separate commits:
+      - a test for the issue (may be moved to a separate merge request for deferred merging)
+      - a fix for the issue
+      - documentation updates (`CHANGES`, release notes, anything else applicable)
+  - [ ] Ensure the merge request from the previous step is reviewed by SWENG staff and has no outstanding discussions
+  - [ ] Ensure the documentation changes introduced by the merge request addressing the problem are reviewed by Support and Marketing staff
+  - [ ] Prepare backports of the merge request addressing the problem for all affected (and still maintained) BIND branches (backporting might affect the issue's scope and/or description)
+  - [ ] Prepare a standalone patch for the last stable release of each affected (and still maintained) BIND branch
+
+### Release-specific actions
+
+  - [ ] Create/update the private issue containing links to fixes & reproducers for all CVEs fixed in a given release cycle
+  - [ ] Reserve a block of `CHANGES` placeholders once the complete set of vulnerabilities fixed in a given release cycle is determined
+  - [ ] Ensure the merge requests containing CVE fixes are merged into `security-*` branches in CVE identifier order
