The community has been asked to provide feedback until June 1 on proposed clarifications regarding exploits and malware hosted on GitHub.

“Our policy updates focus on the difference between actively harmful content, which is not allowed on the platform, and at-rest code in support of security research, which is welcome and encouraged. These updates also focus on removing ambiguity in how we use terms like ‘exploit,’ ‘malware,’ and ‘delivery’ to promote clarity of both our expectations and intentions,” Mike Hanley, the CSO of GitHub, said in a blog post on Thursday.
